Stage One Survey Report

In 2020, the European Folk Network (EFN) conducted a survey aimed at those organisations working in or with folk or traditional arts across the European continent. The survey is continuing but this report covers the 173 initial responses gathered between May and October 2020.

The Stage One survey is a first step in understanding the state, nature and development of the people and organisations active in traditional arts in Europe. The report covers three main areas: 1. Profile of the Respondents, 2. Traditional and Folk Activity, 3. Youth Engagement. It provides data on the types of activities and traditions the respondents work with as well as their outreach through concerts, festivals and workshops. The Stage One survey shows that the 173 respondents reach around 2 million people per year in total, averaging circa 17,188 audience members per year, with over 38,000 participants in community projects and 22,632 people reached through workshops, classes and residential courses.
