NIPA: IETM’s trajectory and activities for 2022-2024
A new chapter begins for IETM: We are thrilled to present an overview of our trajectory and activities for the 2022-2024 period through our brand new project The New International in the Performing Arts (NIPA): Bridging local and global.
NIPA is the fruit of IETM’s 2022-2024 Creative Europe Network project. It will be structured around three strands: Inclusivity, Equality & Fairness (2022), Green Transition (2023), and The New International Explored Through Translocality (2024). Using a translocal approach, NIPA will offer more opportunities and space for members and professionals from the global performing arts sector to learn about each others’ local challenges and approaches to global issues through reflecting, learning and undertaking concrete actions.
Learn more about our NIPA project and discover the events, training, publications and advocacy actions that we have planned at IETM for 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Do you want to join our team or know someone who does? We’re looking for a full-time IETM Events Administration Assistant to support the daily administrative operations of the IETM office and assist in preparation of IETM activities and events from 2 May 2022 onwards! Read the full job description and apply by 20 February 2022.
#MeToo in Culture: From call-outs to structural change
When it comes to #MeToo in the Culture sector, we and the SHIFT partners believe it is high time to shift the focus from unique cases to macro-structures. Through research and case studies, the final publication of our joint SHIFT work on Gender & Power Relations puts forward solution-oriented strategies for combating sexual harassment and power abuse in the arts, and for creating equitable and safe professional environments for art workers.
Supporting Relevance: Ideas and strategies for inclusive, fair and flexible arts funding
Amidst the crisis, simply “more money” for the arts is no longer enough. Our latest IETM publication Supporting Relevance unpacks the notions of inclusive, fair and flexible funding, describes the tensions that may occur when designing such funding programmes and schemes, and brings inspiration from a few case studies. It also offers a set of recommendations for funders on how to support the arts in the most relevant way.
IETM Focus Brussels 2022: Save the date! . 7-8 April 2022 Brussels, Belgium

We are happy that such a relevant scheme will be created for the sector.
