TRANSEUROPA festival is an innovative kind of public event which is simultaneously an artistic, cultural and political engagement taking place across national borders. It is at once a unitary festival and a transnational network of young individuals working together to embrace wider audiences. The festival embraces the values of shared politicai responsibility, free movement, travel, transnational communications and cultural and political explorationThe festival is structured so as to involve a group of young people in each of the participating cities for a period of several months leading up to the festival, making them the actual organisers and conceptualisers of the events, thus promoting European citizenship and youth leadership.With this application we wish to bring the festival to 5 European cities (London, Paris, Bologna, Cluj-Napoca, and Sofia), involving 25 young people (5 per city/group), who will meet once per month for 5 months (January to May) discussing crucial themes for European democracy (and specifically Migration, Environment, Education and youth Employment, Women Rights and Media), and working together to organise a public reflection of these events in a simultaneous transnational festival in the month June.
