Next Stage Capacity Building Programme 2022

Next Stage Initiative

As part of the Next Stage initiative, and with the support of the Creative Europe programme of the European Union, FEDORA offers professional training for emerging artists and creatives to stimulate innovation in opera and dance, in the fields of sustainability, inclusivity and digital transformation.

Throughout the year, representatives from our 31 Platform Members have the opportunity to join three sessions held in collaboration with expert partners in these fields to boost their knowledge and expertise. This unique opportunity enables these professionals to exchange with industry experts, as well as to learn from peers from all over Europe.

Since June 2022, FEDORA has already encouraged over 50 emerging artists and creatives from 12 different countries to foster connections, share best practices and acquire new working tools and perspectives on inclusivity, sustainability and digital transformation.

Workshops on Sustainability

On 13 September and on 2 October 2022, FEDORA held two 3-hour sessions in collaboration with CO2logic, respectively on “Understanding climate change and carbon footprinting in opera and ballet” and “Reducing greenhouse gas emissions & setting targets''. After being given an overview of current issues regarding climate change, participants were invited to discuss and reflect on their own daily practices and emissions.
