FAN will organise two editions of Annual Animation Trainers Meetings, scheduled for 2025 and 2026, with the aim of promoting collaboration and knowledge exchange among educators and animation professionals from Southern European countries.
The 2025 Annual Animation Trainers Meeting, held in a hybrid format, was hosted by Animasyros – International Animation Festival, on the island of Syros, Greece.
This Animation Trainers Meeting brought together animation professionals, educators, and institutional representatives to present best practices and pedagogical methods. The programme featured contributions from the partner festivals of the FAN network, the AWG – the educational section of ASIFA International (the International Animated Film Association), the Hellenic Centre of Audiovisual Media and Creation, and the Portuguese educational organisation ANILUPA, aiming to exchange knowledge and experiences on education through animation.
In 2026, the meeting will be coordinated and helded by CINANIMA – International Animation Film Festival of Espinho.
