RESEO are delighted to be partnering with FEDORA to award the 2026 FEDORA Education Prize. The prize aims to support projects that foster innovation and social inclusion while enabling the involvement of new and wider audiences.
About the FEDORA Prizes Biennale
FEDORA, with the help of its sponsors, provides up to €300,000 to support cutting-edge artistic and innovative projects that promote international collaboration, creativity, social integration, intercultural dialogue, as well as digital innovation. Alongside international funding opportunities, shortlisted organisations will benefit from access to exclusive events, networking opportunities and online visibility.
About the Education Prize
The FEDORA Education Prize supports innovative education projects in opera and dance, especially those with a strong social impact. The Prize supports projects that are still in development or existing programmes that need funding to scale or deepen their impact. Applicants are assessed on the ambition of the project, the quality of the participatory process, the choice of participants or communities, the potential for social integration, and the project’s future beyond the funded period. An artistic outcome or showcase is also expected, although this does not necessarily need to take the form of a traditional stage performance. For the 2026 application cycle, projects should be planned for the period between summer 2027 and December 2028.
Application tip: “The FEDORA application process can be demanding, but it can also help you clarify and strengthen your project. You have to produce a short project video and think carefully about how the work is presented. Even without winning, the process can help you move your project “a step further” by helping clarify its artistic and organisational logic.” – Sarah Théry, Collectif MEUTE, 2023 FEDORA Education Prize winner
“Winning the FEDORA Education Prize helped us continue developing this cultural, political and human exchange between us, the dancers, the platforms and the communities we met along the way. FEDORA helped us bring this phase of the project to the best possible conclusion.”
Rosada Letizia Zangri, Educational Coordinator, ECO Compagnie, 2025 FEDORA Education Prize winner
