EEPAP is a unique international platform of co-operation for young performing artists, curators and producers working in the countries situated at the eastern border of the European Union.

The EEPAP will operate as a performing arts network and a platform of applying for EU funding and producing projects. Our goal is to establish strong, effective long-term co-operation of performing arts artists in Central and Eastern Europe in order to develop international co-productions and an exchange of ideas, information and performances.
