Complementary to a wide and diversified spectrum of partner entities, membership and active involvement in cultural networks are for Teatro do Noroeste – CDV a goal that translates into effective institutional gains capable of projecting the activities of its members in different spheres: local, regional, national, international. Examples of this are:
Network
ETC is the largest network of publicly funded theaters in Europe, with 44 members in 26 countries. They organize a wide range of activities to create new theater, support and develop people working in theater and fight for the sector in a political context. These activities are open to a combination of member theaters, theater workers, artists across the continent, audiences interested in theater and are divided into three broad categories: artistic collaborations, professional development and theater advocacy.

Founded on December 6, 2008, TEIA – Teatro Em Iniciativa Associativa is a confederation of cultural associations that have expressed their willingness to come together in favor of promoting theatrical activity in the municipality and district of Viana do Castelo.
Collaborating with the Teatro do Noroeste – CDV, some of these associations for almost two decades, it made perfect sense to formalize an initiative that brought together all the associations that in one way or another promote the theater and the Teatro do Noroeste – CDV with their members.
In turn, since its foundation, Teatro do Noroeste – CDV has been taking its theater shows, as well as theater classes, giving theater courses for amateurs, to the people of the parishes of the municipality of Viana do Castelo.
This cooperative relationship between Teatro do Noroeste – CDV and TEIA is today fundamental in the dissemination of the performances of Teatro do Noroeste – CDV in the municipality of Viana do Castelo, while in return Teatro do Noroeste – CDV contributes through technical, logistical, operational and consultancy in the initiatives and events of TEIA members.

PLATTA was born with the purpose of fostering the dialogue of transregional and transnational amateur theater, as a reality within the national and European cultural space, as well as betting on a new vision of amateur theater, as an indispensable element for cross-border dissemination and cultural exchange.
In this sense, the platform develops a theatrical and cultural program that enables cross-border theatrical exchange between Galicia, Portugal and Castile and Leon.
