“With each network I get to know different people…”
“I am involved in a number of networks related to Street Arts and Festivals. Each network has something different to offer but there is actually very little overlap between those networks.Either because they each focus on other elements or when they do discuss the same subjects, each network presents different experts on those subjects and looks at it from different angles; which is amazingly interesting.
With each network I get to know different people, but sometimes it could be great to let them meet and take the best of each network’s experience.”
Floriane Gaber, Freelance Researcher and Journalist (France).

When FED, the association for Festivals & Events in Denmark, was founded at the end of 2005, the initiative was taken by IFEA members Lars Blicher-Hansen (Visit Denmark) and Allan Xenius Grige (Copenhagen Art & Culture Consult), who were at the time also members the “Event Denmark” task force.
“Event Denmark” was created in 2003 jointly by the Danish Ministry of Culture and the Danish Ministry of Economy and Commerce and was charged with developing the festival and event market in Denmark.

Invitation Mediterrània 1-4 November
Dear Colleague,
Mediterrània, Fira d’espectacles d’arrel tradicional is a multi-disciplinary market for new creations inspired by and based on tradition and is held in the city of Manresa on the first weekend in November.
The Fair is a meeting point between Catalonia and other territories from around the Mediterranean. In this tenth edition, we will be giving special emphasis on gaining closer acquaintance with the culture of the Mediterranean islands. If you come, you’ll discover a professional market with:
- A meeting point for a variety of creative disciplines and professionals related to the world of shows, with a wide programme of live performances complemented with round-table discussions and conferences.
- An exhibition and contracting point facilitating the spread of new artistic creation.
- A bridge for the internationalization of the sector, with the participation and presence of companies and programmers from other regions and countries.
- A exhibition area, with stands manned by professionals within the sector.
The last edition hosted 93 shows, 18 stages, 85 groups and companies and 422 programmers. 167 journalists were accredited and over 75,000 spectators attended the events programmed in covered venues. Manresa, a city of 65,000 inhabitants 60 km (37.5 miles) from Barcelona, will once more be the centre of culture on November 1- 4 2007, just after Womex in Seville.
