Background
The European Festivals Association was founded in Geneva in 1952 on the joint initiative of eminent conductor Igor Markewitch and philosopher Denis de Rougemont, with 15 festivals making up the core (Aix-en-Provence, Bayreuth, Berlin, Besançon, Bordeaux, Florence, Holland, Lucerne, Munich, Perugia, Strasbourg, Venice, Vienna, Wiesbaden and Zurich). The founders were deeply engaged in the quality and the social responsibility of festivals. Denis de Rougemont insisted on the urgent need for cultural integration of Europe as expressed in the words believed to be said by Jean Monnet: 'If it were to be done over again, I'd start with culture'.
Activities
EFA organises annual conferences and round table meetings across Europe to promote networking, co-production and cooperation opportunities, complemented by its publishing activities (EFA BOOKS series and the EFA Blog Festival Bytes). It performs also advocacy work through the European House for Culture.
The EFA's principal training and education project is Atelier for Young Festival Managers, an annual event for emerging artistic festival directors. In October 2012 it was hosted by the Ljubljana Festival. The 32 young festival directors from 21 countries worked with eight experienced festival managers.
