European Spectators Day is an online and offline event that every year, in November, involves the local groups of active spectators participating in the co-programming activities developed by the project Be SpectACTive!. It takes place at the same time in different European cities. The local meetings have the aim to discuss all together online – on social media networks – about theatre’s experiences, sharing ideas and practices. It is a way for filling the gap of the geographical distance and the language barriers, it is an effective and experimental activity for connecting people using the ICT.

In the new edition of the European Spectactors Day we mean to involve a digital artist: an illustrator, a photographer, a graphic novelists, a video artist or another kind of digital artist able to realize a storytelling, managing the online interaction between different communities, before, during and after the event. The format of the European Spectators Day will be defined starting from June 2020 with the collaboration of the digital artist.
