FIA, together trade union sister federation UNI MEI and employer counterparts CEPI and FIAPF, is currently engaged in a two year project to map good practice approaches to green and sustainable production in the European audiovisual sector and to widely share the findings through a series of capacity-building seminars. It is a European Social Dialogue project, funded by the European Commission and led by UNI MEI.
The first of the capacity building seminars is rapidly approaching. It will take place on June 30th in Brussels, Belgium, in the context of the Brussels Film Festival. Some of the day will be focused on the institutional context, with presentations of the European Green deal, as well as recent findings from the European Audiovisual Observatory on the Environmental impact of the industry. The second part of the day will hone in on the skills needs and emerging professions in this regard, including a focus on the role of Green Consultants in film and TV production, as well as the exploration of a number of case studies. FIA can offer a number of funded places to European affiliates (covering travel and accommodation expenses) should you wish to attend this meeting. If interested, please do let me know and you can also register using this online form: https://forms.gle/bRduupf8t2Q5jb7D7.
Please note that this meeting takes place the day after the European Sectoral Social Dialogue in the AV sector meeting (so delegates may consider attending both). It is also the day after the EuroFIA Day 3 meeting with CMOs in Madrid, which may impact on travel plans.
