Programmes

SMA! is an accelerator project co-financed by Creative Europe that aims to support small boutique music festivals in peripheral areas of Europe. The project’s goal is to create a sustainable cross-border development model by diversifying and improving festival management and relationships with stakeholders. SMA! aims to establish a business model that can provide solutions to common problems faced by festivals in peripheral areas and become an example for others facing similar issues. The project will enhance the identity and professional training of festival staff and encourage mobility and transnational cooperation. It will also promote eco-sustainability, accessibility, and inclusion while improving the economy of individual events through the establishment of other activities that increase cultural tourism and diversify business branches.
