Festival of Flanders Mechelen

Festival Readings

The Festival Academy

In partnership with The Festival Academy, the Festival of Flanders Mechelen is organising a series of Festival Readings. These readings have been held previously in Sochi, Yerevan, Sibiu and Bari. Immerse yourself in the world of festivals for three days. Renowned festival makers explain their vision and provide more insight into the social role of festivals. You can also find out more about Lunalia behind the scenes.

The Festival Readings are not just aimed at people who have already taken their first steps in the festival world, but also at students of culture management, dramaturgy or production. And of course anyone else who is simply curious about how festivals work is warmly welcome to attend.
