A new structure
After a period of transition, CIOFF has to adapt its structures. A new
name is adopted: CIOFF becomes the International Council of
Organizations for Folklore Festivals and Folk Arts.
On an other hand, it is requested to create a National Section in every
country. According to the organization of folklore in each country, this
National Sections are the representative body of the festivals, take in
charge the relations with the existing folklore federations, and nominate
the delegates to the General Assembly and the Sectors meetings.
National Sections gathering a smaller number of persons in regional
Sectors meetings do facilitate the tasks of the General Assembly.
National Sections
As the number of festivals co-operating with CIOFF is increasing, it
is decided that every country would be represented by only one person,
under the name of "official delegate".
However, the General Assembly remains open to representatives of
festivals and federations as associated members or observers. Their
expertise can be requested, but with no voting rights.CIOFF Sectors:
Central European Sector;
Northern European Sector;
Southern European Sector;
North American Sector;
Latin American and Caribbean Sector;
Asian Sector.
