Visegrad Project

INTERNATIONAL VISEGRAD COOPERATION

THE PROJECT AND THE COOPERATION

We aim to build a long-term co-operation between jugglers to summarise and share opinions, results, skills and knowledge and first of all make friends. Playing together is very important, just as international discussion and intercultural learning: the opportunity to bring the young people of 10-15 countries together within this program.

Thank you for the International Visegrad Fund, in this year we can invite juggler from countries: Poland, Czech and Slovakia, remembering the historical Visegradian co-operation between these countries.

Because of this help we can offer free entrance ticket, accomodation, breakfast at the 2. Budapest Convention.

You need to be registered at our website and to have a confirmation letter (ask it by e-mail: )!

We offer our website to make easier to arrive to the Convention. You can find help to “share a ride” and a forum if you have any practical question!

Hobby jugglers and performers are both welcome to the program!
