Ready for the sixth edition of the European Spectators Day?
DISCOVER COLLECTION OF SPECTATORS
European Spectators Day is a digital and community based event that every year involves and connects the local groups of active spectators participating in the co-programming activities developed in the framework of Be SpectACTive!
It is a way for filling the gap of the geographical distance and the language barriers, it is an effective and experimental activity for connecting people using the ICT.
In the new edition of the European Spectactors Day we involve a digital artist able to manage the online interaction between different communities, before, during and after the event.
