Pyrenart, fresh determination to go above and beyond!
Pyrenart has been co-run by all nine cross-border partners since 16th October 2017.
Through the project, the performing arts players network seeks to reaffirm the existence of a veritable
Pyrenean artistic identity. The project partners strive to give wider visibility to this identity.
The Poctefa programme has made this ambitious project a practical reality, thus strengthening the Pyrenean cultural fabric.
After three intense years of cooperation around a common goal, the project officially ended on 16th October 2020. Pyrenart represents:

1 supertitling workshop,
3 professional events,
3 jobshadow sessions with 11 members of partner teams,
6 presentations of artistic projects, …and, hundreds of hours of coordination, preparation and exchange between partners.
We are currently developing:
A Mooc: « How to produce and disseminate internationally »
A web and mobile application to facilitate translation, with a professional touring lexicon
A qualitative and quantitative assessment of Pyrenart (entrusted to ProfileCulture).
In view of the success of these achievements, fully convinced of the positive impact of structured cooperation on the Pyrenean area, and in the face of lockdown-induced stoppages, Pyrenart’s partners have applied for a project extension (until December 31st, 2021). This confirms partner determination to create a Pyrenean framework for work, pooling and exchange. Programme response is expected by November 26th, 2020.
