News - Hurja piruetti

Hurja Piruetti is participating in a new international project!

Hurja Piruetti is about to embark on a wonderful European collaboration project called D4EA – Dance for Eco-Anxiety, funded by the Creative Europe program. We are implementing the project together with three inspiring European dance organizations:

Corps et Arts Dance District (CADD), France
Interdansa, Spain
Ijshaamanka, Italy

D4EA – Dance for Eco-Anxiety responds to the growing climate anxiety among young Europeans. The project creates space for processing and validating emotions through non-verbal, creative means of expression, dance, and movement.

The project aims to strengthen the expertise of cultural actors, teachers, and institutions.

The project supports our ongoing process of renewing our sustainable development certification and, at the same time, opens up a broader discussion at the European level.

Great news, we have received project funding for the Hallå project, which is supported by Svenska kulturfonden. 💛

Hallå builds bridges between Swedish speakers and other language groups. The aim is to create authentic encounters, increase mutual understanding, and strengthen interaction by doing things together.

We believe that shared experiences create a foundation for positive attitudes and a vibrant, multilingual community.

The project will launch in spring 2026, so stay tuned! We will share more about the progress of the work here on our channels and on our website. 💫
