The YOUROPE Hub

Since the beginning, our association has been working on projects and tools to enhance the quality of festivals on an international level. This YOUROPE Hub is a collection of knowledge, best-practice examples and tools for those interested in organizing popular music festivals. The YOUROPE Hub is initiated as a part of our 3F – Future-Fit Festivals project and will constantly be updated with tools, case studies, publications, etc. recommended by our working groups, the project team or the association’s management.

You can navigate this library through the filter framework of focus topics and categories. “Best practice” includes case studies of projects and festivals that are exceptional in some way and can serve as a role model. “Publication” comprises guides, handbooks, reports, scientific documents etc. “Tools” shows online resources that are more interactive than PDFs. “Article” is for news and announcements.
