The Festival Academy: Digital (R)Evolution

The Festival Academy, an initiative of the European Festivals Association (EFA) is a non-profit organization that believes festivals are bridging platforms with a direct link to people and civil society structures. This pilot edition of "Digital (R)Evolution: A Communication & New Technologies Training" took place between January 22-25, 2020, in Antwerp - Belgium. Organized in partnership with deSingel, this 4-day long training program brought together 12 festival managers and artists coming from 11 different countries to critically reflect on the subject of digitalization and the use of new technologies in the festivals’ field. I served as a guest speaker and advisor for the program.
