The planned program of NETA Network is based on objectives of transferring knowledge, skills and inter-cultural cooperation, the use of modern, specific and concrete methods, technologies and increased activation of each member. The primary fields of Network operation are performing arts, but we will disseminate our activities also to other cultural and non-cultural sectors.Regular activity of Network covers professional business–program management with the help of NETA Institute seated in Ljubljana, dissemination and promotion of the Network, realization and supervision of the implementation of planned projects in all-European space: NETA Festival (21 performances) the NETA festival program within the established festivals (3-5 per year), international co-productions (2-3 per year), an international artistic ensemble (30-40 artists and authors), international touring in countries members of the Network, theoretical and practical trainings (School of creative production, workshops). All activities have their own development phases and formed way of the development process in following three years. Particular emphasis is placed on NETA Art TV and NETA Research Institute projects. The two complement each other, promote, distribute and influent on forming the entire regular activities, programs and projects of the Network. The added value of these two projects is gradual connection of different sectors, dissemination to fields outside the culture, engagement of new staff and opening up opportunities for modern business functioning of the Network.NETA has currently 67 members from 18 countries. In the next three years due to the activities of the program we expect a 30% increase in members per year and expansion to other countries. The focus of the membership is not in quantity but in the offered program, activities and modern business networking, which requires engagement and activity in asserting the interests of international cultural communication.
