What could the EU Artists’ Charter mean for dance?

Towards the EU Artists’ Charter: A Sector Blueprint is a civil society proposal for the Charter that the European Commission plans to present in 2027. Culture Action Europe’s Action Group on Working Conditions developed it with 40 participants, including EDN.

The Blueprint starts from a problem familiar in dance: work is funded project by project, and research and rehearsal hours often go unpaid. The proposals include remuneration that reflects the actual cost of producing and circulating work, social protection that follows artists across borders, and simpler touring procedures.

It also proposes that EU funding recipients meet social standards. This would first need to be written into the legal basis of AgoraEU, the EU’s next culture and media funding programme, which is still being negotiated.

Young People in Dance: From Spectators to Co-Creators

What does dance hold for children and young people? Join artists and organisations in Roubaix for three days of talks, shared thinking and performances, hosted by Le Gymnase CDCN during the Forever Young festival.

The programme works through two lenses:
🔹Young people as audiences: what shifts in artistic practice when children and young people are treated as the primary audience rather than secondary spectators?
🔹Young people as participants: on stage, in research, and in programming and decision-making.

Over three days: panels on creating for young audiences, dance, citizenship and empowerment; a reflection on ten years of LOOP - National Network for Dance and Youth; artist pitch sessions; and performances by Magda Kachouche, Jihyé Jung and Silvia Gribaudi, among others, as part of the Forever Young festival.

The Atelier is developed in close connection with BIG, the International Production and Dissemination Hub for Dance for Young Audiences led by Le Gymnase. It is proposed by the EDN YOUNG Working Group in the frame of Embodied Transformations, EDN's EU-funded network project.

📌 Roubaix, France
🗓 30 November – 2 December 2026
