How can festival work be more flexible and inclusive to those with caregiving responsibilities?
Join PiPA’s think tank event to discuss and share challenges, current best practice examples, and future strategies that can enable parents and carers to continue touring and being part of festivals such as Edinburgh Fringe.
We're bringing industry reps and festival participants together to discuss challenges, share examples of good practice and discover new ways of making touring and festivals more inclusive and accessible for creatives with caring responsibilities.
If you are a producer, a creative, a venue rep, a crew member, a carer, a parent, an employer or freelancer at the fringe, then come and share your experiences, gain valuable insights, and build new connections.
Tickets are free but places are limited; please sign up via the Eventbrite page here to secure your place.
