Conference 2024

Join us for our first in-person conference

Calling all student representatives - EPASA is launching its first in person conference and registrations are now open!
Performing arts students from across the EU will come together to learn, share knowledge, and build connections.
The theme this year is Resilient Horizons, addressing topics such as resilience, portfolio careers, safe spaces, and student representation.
This conference serves as a space to also shape upcoming priorities for performing arts education internationally. Join EPASA in at the KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent on 25th and 26th May.
We're really looking forward to coming together, learning from each other and building meaningful connections together.
EPASA is part of the AEC – Empowering Artists as Makers in Society (AEC-ARTEMIS, 2022-2025) project funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Commission.
