UN NETWORK EUROPEOFEDORA incoraggia l’innovazione e la creatività nell’opera e nel balletto attraverso un concorso internazionale a premi, iniziato sotto la presidenza di Jérôme-François Zieseniss. La rete federa 95 teatri d’opera, festival, compagnie di danza e associazioni di amici in 25 paesi, nonché donatori individuali, aziendali e fondazioni per creare un ecosistema sostenibile tra settore culturale ed economico e per assicurare il futuro di queste forme d’arte.

UNA PIATTAFORMA EUROPEA UNICA (www.fedora-platform.com)Grazie a 2 milioni di euro di cofinanziamento del programma Europa Creativa dell’Unione Europea, FEDORA sfrutta il passaggio al digitale per presentare le progetti lirici e coreografici in corso di realizzazione sulla sua Piattaforma Europea. In questo modo si rivolge a una nuova generazione di persone, permettendo loro di promuovere e sostenere nuove opere e balletti online.

SISTEMA EUROPEO DI DONAZIONI ONLINENella primavera del 2020, la nostra iniziativa europea sarà la prima organizzazione non lucrativa di utilità sociale con Common Goal in Europa a provare un nuovo sistema di donazioni transnazionali online che permetterà di semplificare le donazioni transfrontaliere e faciliterà la filantropia in tutta Europa. Questo «pilot project» sarà lanciato in collaborazione con Transnational Giving Europe ed è co-finanziato da Creative Europe.
