The European Universities Alliance ACE²-EU is pleased to announce that the deadline for student applications to the Kaleidoscope Culture Festival has been extended until 6 May 2025. The festival will take place from 22–24 October 2025 at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI) in Germany, bringing together students from across Europe to celebrate cultural diversity and creative expression under this year’s theme: “The Voices of Europe Today.”
Organised within the Alliance ACE²-EU, the Kaleidoscope Culture Festival offers a unique platform for students to share what makes their culture special. Whether through music, arts, cuisine, storytelling, or other forms of expression, students are invited to contribute their voices to this collaborative, international event. So far, 17 inspiring proposals have been received, but the organising team believes there are still many unique perspectives yet to be heard.
Each partner university will be represented by 12 students — either as content creators, leading or presenting cultural activities, or as cultural experiencers, actively participating in and engaging with the programme. The festival will feature interactive workshops and talks, performances and open mic sessions, student-led exhibitions and showcases, a multicultural evening with shared dinner and DJ, and networking opportunities with peers from across Europe.
Students interested in participating should apply by 6 May 2025 via this form: https://ej.uz/KaleidoscopeCultureFestival25. Proposals should include a short description of the activity or idea, its format (e.g., workshop, performance, exhibition), estimated duration and number of participants, any technical needs, and the applicant’s contact information. Supporting materials such as images or videos are welcome.
This is a chance to engage with fellow students across Europe, build lasting connections, and co-create a more inclusive and dynamic cultural landscape. For more information, visit: https://www.ace2eu.eu/call-for-participation-kaleidoscope-culture-festival-2025/.
