By acknowledging the green transition urgency of green transition, how can policy makers best facilitate the actions needed? What changes and strategies have been developed and implemented - and what impacts have we seen so far? How can policy makers work with the performing arts’ potential to open new ways for a just and green transition? How can we be successful in partnerships? What are the obstacles we meet, when trying to implement changes?

Today’s global economy perpetuates an exploitative relation with the planet and the communities that inhabit it. What can we learn from Indigenous knowledge systems and methods to change this tendency?  

What can an inclusive and intersectional perspective teach us about climate justice? What are the key issues to reconsider if we want to ensure a just green transition for the future?

In this session, Indigenous knowledge holders and community activists from outside of the arts field will discuss how modern societies can forge an environmentally and socially sustainable culture based on restorative justice and equity.

Traditional language may not be enough to convey the enormity of the challenges we face in a rapidly changing environment. While scientists may have data on the urgency of climate change, artists are most likely better positioned to predict our cultural climate.

Both nature and art can teach us to see the world in a new light - but how can we combine the artistic purpose of our work with reducing our environmental impact and creating awareness, when these are not always aligned?

During this session, two artists whose work is intimately linked to the human experience of water will share insights on their relationship with activism and how they relate to the urgent need for the reduction of the environmental impact of human culture.

RELAY is an on-going Erasmus + Cooperation Partnership project with partners in Bucharest (RO), Copenhagen (DK) Cologne (DE) and Heraklion (GR). 

The session will offer reflections on the challenges of finding sustainable modes for international exchange and collaboration in the field of arts education in dance and music. 

RELAY emerged from a new approach in contemporary dance, which uses movement to examine the supposed duality of material and immaterial. RELAY provides conditions for students to develop sustainable work/life balance and longevity in their future careers. In addition, the project aims to increase awareness of local contexts and situated knowledge. The project also looks at how dance and music can find common ground in this exploration.

It’s possible to participate online via this link.

In EX(ILE) LAB is a two year laboratory project bringing together cultural organisations based in France, Italy, Cyprus and Portugal. The project aims to support artists in exile who have recently relocated and are looking to build a career in their host country. IN EX(ILE) LAB provides selected artists with opportunities to create a performance, build a professional network, receive advice and reach new audiences by using their existing tools of artistic support.

During this session, a group of IN EX(ILE) LAB participants (one partner, one expert and one artist) will share the first outcomes of the project. They will reflect upon - along with the participants - their past experiences with artists in exile while attempting to grasp what their role as cultural organisations can be.
