Knowledge platform & toolbox

Juist is Juist is a knowledge platform with a toolbox that gives you the tools needed to enter into a partnership on an equal basis. Juist is Juist takes into account that fair practices can differ depending on the context – without calling into question basic legal and solidarity principles.


Juist is Juist consists of two parts:

  1. A guiding framework with general principles and agreements.
  2. A toolbox with instruments that all in the sector can use to make negotiations more transparent and easy: tools to facilitate the principles and agreements. These are easy-to-use instruments that empower everyone involved to start an (artistic) collaboration in an informed manner.
