GESAC has joined six live events organisations in submitting a list of proposals on the practical steps that should be taken for a safe reopening of cultural events. The proposals, along with a letter pledging our support, has been sent to EU Commissioners Mariya Gabriel and Thierry Breton.

These two documents are a follow-up to the letter sent last month asking the Commission to expedite plans to release reopening guidelines.

The letter, which can be read here, emphasises the importance of the Summer season for creators, live event production staff and fans, and makes reference to recent successful test events and pre-existing guidelines on event safety.
