How?
TEH Camp Meeting is a collaboration and co-creation between TEH coordination office and an active and trustworthy member of the network. The concept and the program of the Camp Meeting reflect both local-regional issues and TEH member challenges.
The registration fee for the Camp Meeting must be affordable for TEH members and associates.
What?
It is a publicly accessible four-day event, open for cultural and creative professionals, mainly from TEH network, but also from the hosts’ local, regional and national colleagues. It provides the opportunity to network, exchange knowledge, practices and experience.
A TEH Camp Meeting consists of several sessions initiated by TEH-member centres. The sessions stimulate peer-to-peer learning and focus on hands-on activities and sharing. The Camp Meeting includes an ‘action lab’ or ‘market space’ in which TEH-members and associates can pitch ideas, share projects and create international collaborations.
It includes an artistic programme that reflects the work of the host centre and is a way for participants to discover the local scene. The Camp Meeting includes a party and a EuroBar.
