dissemination of best practice)<br />
– intervening with the authorities on a european or national level, according<br />
to the demands and needs of the <strong>Fedec</strong> or one or more of its members<br />

the influence of creation and training in circus arts or to improve<br />
contacts with associations and organisations working in the fields of art,<br />
