11:00-13:00 - Roundtable:
The Circus and Public Art Landscape draws an uneven yet dynamic network across the continent, with leaders in creation (emerging artists and companies), training (Schools and School Projects) or diffusion (affirmation of new festivals). Why animate a regional network and how to strengthen the links between the operators of these sectors in Africa? Advantages, pitfalls, perspectives: how to build on the experiences of existing international networks?
Afternoon: Departure of the delegation
