Starting December 2025, Perform Europe organises four online events to share the findings and knowledge generated by its 42 partnerships – involving 187 partners who have toured 63 artistic works across all 40 Creative Europe countries, a total of 260 presentations.

We invite artists, producers, presenters, intermediaries, funders, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of international performing arts to join four different online events between December 2025 and February 2026. Each session will highlight the partnerships’ experiences, challenges and innovative approaches, offering inspiration and practical ideas for the wider sector. 

Attend individual events or participate in the full series to get inspired by new models for international touring. English live captioning will be provided during the events. See the full line-up below.

What’s emerging from 42 touring experiments across Europe?

Join to see what 42 projects have learnt while rethinking international touring. From inclusion and fairness to greening, their journeys were analysed by IDEA Consult to understand how they are shaping new tools to create, connect, and move across borders. Hear their stories, learn from their collective experiences, and take part in shaping what this means for a greener, fairer performing arts future. This event is facilitated by IDEA Consult.
