CALL FOR EKO CREATION-MEDIATION PROJECTS
EKO Pirineus de Circ is a cross-border cooperation project on both sides of the Pyrenees, co-financed by the #ERDF and the #interreg #POCTEFA program.
The call is aimed at projects for the creation of circus shows for 2025-2026, led by artists or companies from the Spain-France-Andorra cross-border area who wish to reduce the carbon impact in the sector, increasing the cultural and social impact with the presence of artists in the territories.
They will be offered:
- residencies in EKO network creation sites during the years 2025 and 2026
- mediation activities or with social links, depending on the creation site
- participation in the Hackathon from March 4 to 6: a support marathon to build sustainable creation-mediation paths for artists
- creation grants of 7,500 to 15,000 euros, depending on the project and support modalities
- programming opportunities for the finished show.
