The event focused on the aspects of international presence of emerging and mid-career artists in the European and global markets. It aimed to provide an understanding of the different contexts based on which the opportunities for international visibility and international touring need to be examined. This means for example the different access to sustainable means of travel, different levels of financial resources that are needed to tackle environmental issues. In the frame of the event participants gained insights to good practices in the international sphere, and were given the platform to discuss and approach to each other their different realities.

The workshop was organised in the frame of Nextfeszt, a festival for emerging artists in Hungary. The partners offered discussions and workshops on crucial aspects of cultural production, such as the question of how to build successful international collaborations in the performing arts. Together, we discussed methods, roles, and key foundations for cross-border partnerships in an open, informal setting and also creating a better understanding among technician professionals, artists and managers through joint training on technical aspects of production and touring.
