International professionals who hold a decision-making position at an organisation or festival with (significant) international programming and who are interested in performing arts for young audiences are invited to join the programme.

Starting in The Hague, participants will travel to various cities within the Netherlands to experience hand-picked shows and studio visits, meeting NL-based artists along the way.

The programme is organised by the Performing Arts Fund NL in collaboration with Festival de Betovering. It features leading young audience companies performing at the festival, as well as acts showcased especially for the occasion.
