Communication activities
Activities:
IETM offers a frame for international exchange, presentation of best practices, reflection on the future of the art’s form and training and has a multiplier effect on the sector.
The network liaises with other cultural networks, and with NGOs from other sectors. Universities are partners in creating knowledge to support the development and resilience of the sector. More strategic endeavours to embed the voice of the performing arts into key policy debates constitute IETM’s reinforced advocacy strategy.
IETM's website has been transformed into a knowledge resource and an exchange platform for sharing professional opportunities and facilitating virtual interaction with and among members. Live-streaming of keynote speeches, social media and newsletters multiply IETM’s reach, while meetings aim at causing ripple effects in the host region and beyond.
Members are the main stakeholders of the network and priority partners for project collaboration and co-creation, as well as multilateral collaborations with other sectors.
IETM develops an inclusion strategy, supporting the sector’s endeavours to diversify organisations and audiences, to be more inclusive and to support social integration processes.
To guarantee impact and optimise the unique opportunities of its diverse membership, IETM activities are aimed to be complementary to activities undertaken on national, regional and local levels and those designed for a specific peer group.

Cultural diplomacy:
IETM visits and creates an exchange with new markets in the Eastern Partnership and the MENA region, as well as other countries/regions. Intercultural dialogue, cultural diversity and the inclusion of minority groups are high on IETM's agenda.
Audience development:
The diversity and inclusion strategy implies reaching out to new audiences. Training and publications on digital technology (transmedia storytelling/gaming dramaturgy / live streaming) also help in reaching young and broader audiences.
Capacity building:
Performing arts professionals have discontinuous careers, so capacity-building is key to enable them to sustain. IETM-ers get skilled in intercultural dialogue/trans-border collaboration.Other activities
