Global Connect is an IETM programme created with and supported by IETM Associate Members. The goal of Global Connect is to make the network more inclusive, diverse and accessible. Since 2022, IETM Global Connect has supported and welcomed 33 established performing arts professionals from five continents to the IETM network.
IETM Global Connect enables performing arts professionals from across the globe to:
- Actively contribute towards IETM’s activities and development by bringing fresh perspectives to the dialogue within the network and influence the global performing arts sector on a long term basis.
- Expand their international network and find new collaborators and partners across all horizons – via online and on-site opportunities.
- Allow the opportunity for international visibility of alternative and/or innovative working models, practices and ideas developed in their professional local context and communities.
- Become inspired in their professional lives, which they can share with their communities.
- Develop new skills and knowledge through peer-to-peer learning.
Among other forms of support, successful applicants will benefit from funding to attend one IETM meeting: the IETM Plenary meeting in Sofia, Bulgaria on 12-15 June 2024. The support will cover all travel, accommodation and visa costs as well as other relevant costs required to attend the meeting.
IETM is committed to extending bursaries to enable the participation of disabled performing arts professionals. Therefore, a percentage of the programme’s budget will be allocated to enable this.
