What is a Satellite BEYOND?

Satellite BEYOND events are regional gatherings hosted by CAE members or a group of members (

CAE Geographical Hubs⁠

), often in collaboration with local institutions or networks. These editions are grounded in principles of decentralisation, proximity, and contextual sensitivity.

Satellite BEYONDs aim to:

Address cultural issues and priorities specific to local or regional contexts

Create a space for radical imagination and proposals

Provide a platform for dialogue, experimentation, and capacity-building

Strengthen connections between local realities and EU-level advocacy

By expanding the reach of Central BEYOND, Satellites democratise participation and amplify diverse cultural voices, ensuring that CAE’s European advocacy is informed by a wide spectrum of experiences and perspectives.

Who can host Satellite BEYOND?

Any Culture Action Europe member, Hub or a group of members

Collaboration of Culture Action Europe members with non-members is possible
