Cross‑border collaboration is the lifeblood of performing arts — but what is its funding situation today, and what could it look like in the future?

The Performing Arts Coalition (PAC) invites artists, producers, managers and other professionals worldwide to share their experiences. Your input will inform a policy paper on the next EU funding programme for culture - AgoraEU (2028–2034) and provide evidence for policymakers at international, European, national and regional levels.

15–20 minutes. Anonymous. Open until Friday, 17 April.

PAC is led by five performing arts networks - ASSITEJ International, Circostrada Network, European Dance Development Network European Festivals Association (EFA), and IETM International network for contemporary performing arts - who join forces to advocate for the sector's shared needs.
