What administrative regulations need to be observed for appearances in other countries? The German Mobility Information Point ‘touring artists’ (
www.touring-artists.info
) has set itself the task of providing free advice, information and awareness-raising on these topics across all sectors. In this online workshop, Sebastian Hoffmann, head of the advisory service, provides you with information on the basics of preparing and carrying out tours abroad. Here you can find out, among other things, how invoicing works for performances abroad, what withholding tax is all about, when the A1 certificate is needed, what an ATA carnet is, whether a work permit is needed for performances abroad and where funding can be applied for. The workshop is aimed at musicians who live in Germany and are planning international concerts and tours.

Brief description

When practicing their profession, musicians often find themselves in positions similar to those of employees, but also employers, and thus in a wide variety of power relationships. This 90-minute webinar provides practical knowledge on the legal foundations of the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) with a focus on sexual harassment and violence in the workplace. The rights and obligations of employers and employees will be explained and practically illustrated using typical industry examples. The exciting question of when self-employed persons are legally treated as employees is clarified. In addition, psychological support is provided, particularly on the topic: “How can I be a good supporter in such cases?”

Workshop “ A different kind of annual planning”// DIGITAL with Saskia Worf

In this workshop, we will first take a look back at the year 2023: What went well, what needs to be celebrated properly, what went less well, and what are your learnings? What would you do differently if you were allowed to “turn” the year over again: what would you do more of, what would you do less of, what would you keep?

On this basis, we look to the future: what would you ideally like for the year 2024, and what will it take, both externally and internally, for these dreams to come true? – What might others expect, and does it fit together? – Good “good intentions” benefit not only from the luminosity of the dream but also from clear milestones and concrete action steps, realistic time planning including buffer and recovery phases and an idea of when and where you might need support from whom.

Based on psychological findings on the topic and the personal experiences of the participants, we will lay the foundation for your personal roadmap step by step, including a few pragmatic strategies for a successful, happy and stress-free 2024. In order to create a trusting workshop atmosphere, all participants are asked to switch on their cameras.
