EFFEA Generation #4 Intake Seminar

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 15:02:43 +0100

On 20 January, the EFFEA Intake Seminar gathered 147 festivals and 127 emerging artists selected in EFFEA Call #4. For one day, they met online to exchange ideas, present their residencies, and reflect on what it means today to collaborate as artists and festivals across borders.

The programme combined different moments: collective discussions on the questions that connect EFFEA - relationships between artists and festivals, inclusion, sustainability, and mobility in Europe - alongside time for networking and peer exchange. Participants introduced their residency projects to one another and began conversations that will continue in the months ahead.
