What we do
Members of the regional group meet regularly to discuss common interests and challenges in daily regional tango culture work. Topics include:
- Exchange of information (current regulations, funding opportunities, dates of planned events, …)
- Promotion of the awareness of Tango Argentino in Hamburg in general (e.g. joint marketing)
- Lobbying, maintenance of contacts with politics and authorities
- Networking internally (building community, promoting collegial interaction, …)
- External networking with other (dance) cultural areas
Tangoforum
In addition to the regional group proTango Hamburg, there is also a general email distribution list of the Tangoforum Hamburg, which also includes tango artists who are not yet members of proTango e.V.. The regional group is also still very interested in the exchange with these tango creators. We invite all tango artists to become members of proTango e.V. and to get involved in our common work.
