Nordic-Baltic House - What's In A Network?

The ASSITEJ Nordic-Baltic Network has a long history of regional collaboration. Every year since 2019, we have hosted a Nordic-Baltic Network House at ASSITEJ Artistic Gatherings, with our latest edition being presented at Bibu - ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering 2022 (Sweden). This year in Serbia, the session will focus on the importance of regional networks. The ASSITEJ Nordic-Baltic Network will present its work and focus areas, including collaboration on artistic exchange, our work on developing sustainable festival/programming structures between our festivals, as well as other activities from our region. Our vision is to strengthen TYA in the Nordic-Baltic region, share best practices to inspire others, enable more sustainable TYA production/programming structures, and make ASSITEJ even more visible and relevant as an organisation, both within our region and elsewhere. In the latter part of this session, we will invite representatives from other regional and transnational networks to join an open conversation about why networks are important within the framework of ASSITEJ International. This open conversation will start with a short panel introduction before opening up for audience participation.
