Interreg Slam

20 May 24 2 minutes read

Our favorite performance contest - the Interreg Slam, is back!

It is open to all Interreg projects & programmes. The theme of the Slam campaign is defined as Stories of inclusion and empowerment, connected to the communication topic of the European values: Human dignity, Freedom, Democracy, Equality, Rule of law and Human rights. 

In particular, we are searching for stories of projects providing equal access to education, health and work. We are also looking for projects addressing the appreciation of diversity through partnerships and building of inclusive community relationships. In the spirit of Interreg, all of them should result in a strong impact across borders. 

If you think you have such a project, we are here to help you promote its achievements with a professional video and live performance at the Interreg GO! event 2025 key stage, part of the Nova Gorica / Gorizia European Capital of Culture. 

The Interreg Slam contest proposals aim to:

• Win the production of a professional promo video, showcasing their project’s story;
• Receive coaching by a top level expert in Storytelling and Video-making, and get certificates for both;
• Win a trip to Nova Gorica / Gorizia (Slovenia / Italy), in March 2025 and take part in the Interreg GO! event;
• Make live performance on a key European stage and to meet the best experts from the European Commission and the programme bodies of Interreg;
