After having successfully completed the Perform Europe pilot project in 2022, the Perform Europe consortium - IETM, European Festivals Association (EFA), Circostrada, European Dancehouse Network (EDN), IDEA Consult and with the addition of new partner Pearle* - Live Performance Europe -  have been mandated by the European Union to lead Perform Europe once again for the next three years, 2023-2026.  

THIS IS PERFORM EUROPE

Perform Europe is a funding scheme for the European performing arts sector, supporting sustainable, inclusive, balanced and innovative collaboration projects of partners across the 40 Creative Europe countries. Particular attention is given to projects that work with and include underrepresented areas or groups in these Creative Europe countries.  

THE OPEN CALL

The Perform Europe Open Call will be launched in late 2023. The call will stay open for five months. A minimum of three partners from three Creative Europe countries is required for each partnership application, presenting a minimum of one artistic work.   

Perform Europe will grant €2,1 million to a minimum of 35 successful partnership applicants. The maximum grant available for each selected applicant will be €60.000.  

5% of the total funding will be dedicated towards collaborative projects which involve partnership with Ukrainian partners and/or support initiatives for the Ukrainian performing arts sector.  

Perform Europe will offer various information, promotion and knowledge sharing events in connection to the open call.
