About the week
From 19 to 26 November, EUNICE students will have the unique opportunity to take part in the Next Festival, a cross-border international arts festival bringing together inspiring artists, performers and audiences from across Europe.
Hosted by UPHF, this special programme invites students to step beyond the classroom and experience the world of contemporary arts from the inside. For one week, participants will attend selected artistic performances, take part in workshops and cultural activities, meet and exchange with professionals, and connect with students from across the EUNICE alliance.
Whether you are already involved in the arts or simply curious about contemporary artistic practices, this is an opportunity to broaden your horizons, discover new perspectives and connect with an international creative community.
Who can apply?
The programme is open to curious, open-minded and motivated EUNICE students who are interested in discovering contemporary arts.
No specific academic background is required. A regular artistic practice or a demonstrated interest in contemporary arts would be an advantage, however.
The programme is primarily aimed at students at a relatively advanced stage of their studies, from the 3rd year onwards, but all motivated students are welcome to apply.
