Online information session: Open Call for cross-border touring projects

Perform Europe has launched its 2026 Call for Projects, offering €1.4 million in funding to support international collaborations in the performing arts across the 41 Creative Europe countries.
The programme invites performing arts professionals and organisations to build international partnerships and rethink the way artistic works circulate across borders, with a focus on more inclusive, diverse, sustainable and fair touring practices.
