Join us on this pre-meeting trip to Novi Sad, organised in collaboration with Novi Sad 2022 - European Capital of Culture, one day prior to the IETM Belgrade Plenary Meeting.

This is an all day trip to discover Novi Sad’s vibrant cultural scene.

You will have the chance to learn both about the independent performing arts scene and institutional theatre production.

Important practicalities

Taking part in the pre-meeting trip requires you to arrive in Belgrade on Wednesday 27 September, in order to be able to travel to Novi Sad and be ready to leave the next morning. Don’t forget to bring comfortable shoes and wind/waterproofs. You will also need a rucksack to carry a water bottle and a reusable coffee mug, if you have one.

Please note that eating times may differ from country to country. In Serbia, lunch is usually eaten around 15:00. This being said, we have planned for enough snacks and breaks in case you need to replenish before lunchtime.

During this active morning activity, participants will learn how to dance a traditional folk dance in a non-traditional way. The Kolo is a traditional South Slavic circle dance that also used to be performed in mass events during socialist Yugoslavia.
You will be able to experience it as part of the choreography from Group Neut's contemporary dance performance 'Kolo', taken from their research process and recontextualisation of tradition through social dance.

Urban ecosystems are our most prominent ecosystems. However, we have become so accustomed to only noticing the human made world that our ability to observe nature in cities has severely diminished. At the same time, the health sustainability and climate resilience of our cities depends heavily on the presence and biodiversity of nature. 
How can we connect intimately and work closely with a more-than-human world? How can we step out of the anthropocentric and into the new?
 
Discover daily actions and habits that can help us engage and transform our perception of nature in the cities.

How about singing instead of talking?

During the workshop, you will have an opportunity to explore choral singing as a tool for addressing different social topics, with the emphasis on the topic of intercultural learning. 

Everyone is invited to join, regardless of their singing ability. We will sing together and learn in a fun and relaxing way.

This Artistic walk will take you on a visit to an important space in Belgrade's artistic landscape. Opened in 2012, the Street Gallery differs from classic galleries, representing a pioneer endeavour of reconstruction and revitalisation of neglected public space into an open art venue. The walk will include a brief introduction to its beginnings and maintenance, but the focus will be on management and its main challenges and approaches when it comes to the "handover" model.
