The new AECFest CAMP is a capacity-building and professional networking platform for mid-career performing arts producers and curators, designed to strengthen Asia–Europe cultural exchange. It responds to the growing challenges of international mobility and the need for festivals to create long-term impact, providing structured opportunities for dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and collaboration between cultural professionals across both regions. 

Participants will be carefully selected in consultation with ASEF’s partner institutions in Asia and Europe, ensuring a curated group aligned with the Camp’s focus on meaningful exchange and sustainable collaboration. 

The pilot edition in 2026 will take place as part of the 8th Asia–Europe Cultural Festival in Utrecht from 19–23 May, in partnership with SPRING Performing Arts Festival. 

The Camp is planned as an annual platform, embedding professional development within a live festival to foster exchange, peer learning, and critical reflection, and reinforcing ASEF’s role as a convener of sustainable and future-oriented performing arts ecosystems.
