In 2026 AgorALF will be held on 27 and 28 April 2026 in Limassol, Cyprus. It is expected to gather more than 400 participants committed to dialogue between cultures and civilisations from diverse backgrounds. The Creative Europe Desks, the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme, CERV, and the New European Bauhaus, NEB, National Contact Points will be invited to attend.
The Uniting Cultures dimension focuses on creating cultural and interactive experiences across AgorALF’s venues. Through performances, workshops, session-format activities, and networking experiences, it aims to strengthen dialogue, mutual understanding, and people-to-people connection across the Euro-Mediterranean region, showing how culture can reinforce social cohesion and inclusive engagement, especially in the face of shared societal challenges.
ALF is seeking civil society entities, cultural groups and their affiliated creative artists capable of designing and implementing one of two types of interactive/cultural activities that will take place during AgorALF 2026:
- Networking activities
- Cultural and artistic activities
Selected entities will be expected to deliver at least one cultural or artistic activity of approximately 45–60 minutes. Types of cultural activities could be, but not limited to: Live performances such as dance, street theatre with audience participation, activities that reflect cultural heritage (crafts, food, storytelling), visual art installations with interactive components, sensory experiences (interactive sounds or touchable art), or collaborative art activities.
Civil society entities, cultural groups and their affiliated creative artists, nationals of one of the 43 Euro-Med countries, experienced in organising networking and/or cultural artistic activities can apply.
