Welcome to Sweden Festival's "National Festival Meeting - The Sweden Festival", which is a manifestation to promote the Art Festival as a cultural carrier and organizer. It is also a way to encourage and inspire our festival workers and to promote national and international collaborations. We offer interesting seminars, high-quality concerts and an excellent opportunity to network and to be inspired together with other festival organizers. In addition, everything is included but places are limited so "first come, first served". Participants are responsible for their own travel.

In solidarity with Ukraine

We are deeply affected by what is happening now in Ukraine and would like to express solidarity to cultural organisations, artists and all people in the region on behalf of all EFA members worldwide. 

Europe is a common home for all its citizens and people. The twentieth-century of unprecedented horrific wars and suffering is behind us. Hopes and dreams are alive of people who want to create peace, freedom, and security. There is no justification for war. We are all losers when peace and freedom are threatened. Let's raise our voices in defence of Peace.
