The European Project: ‘Gender Equality on and off the Stage: A Mapping Project of the European Live Performance Sector’ ran from February 2020 until January 2022. It was a joint undertaking of the European social partners in the live performance sector, represented by Pearle*-Live Performance Europe on the employers’ side and EAEA-European Arts and Entertainment Alliance including FIA (International Federation of Actors), FIM (International Federation of Musicians) and UNI-MEI (media and entertainment division of UNI Global Union) representing workers in the sector. The project was financed by the European Commission. The main aim of the project was to map the situation with regard to gender equality in the Live Performance sector across the EU and create an overview in order to identify and highlight good practice examples.
What now remains is to launch the outcomes of the project via a dedicated website. Key among these outcomes is a collection of good practice examples pertaining to gender equality in the Live Performance sector. Elsewhere on the website you will find a brief explanation of the general context of the project and the methodology used; a wealth of recordings and resources arising from the four online Gender Equality Thursday webinars held in the course of the project; as well as some overall reflections and a list of useful resources regarding Gender Equality in the Live Performance sector.
The website will be launched on March 4th 2020 at 14h00 CET during a brief online event. The website and database will be presented and we will welcome some guest speakers to discuss the findings.There will be French language interpretation at this event.
