Let’s reinvent our festivals

Festivals are places of sharing, conviviality and freedom, offering a vantage point from which to survey our era and the aspirations of young Europeans. What experiences do they have to offer audiences, both local and international? How do they resist broader market trends and the risk of being cut off from their territories? How are emerging events – fuelled by local audiences and offering brave, innovative and politically-engaged programmes – contributing to the reinvention of the festival landscape?
