The network aims to be an incubator for those who, while benefiting from a local anchorage, ambition to develop their practice internationally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">GLEN is no small idea, but one which aims to find new connection points between some of the smallest countries in Europe. From September 2023 to June 2024 GLEN will implement three areas of activities, networking activities, critical friendships (mentorships) and open webinars that address the specificities of producing and distributing in small countries and advising on how to develop internationally from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">GLEN was established in 2023 as an initiative of 8 organizations working to support the structuration and internationalization of their national performing arts field.
