SEEDs aims to strengthen the economic potential and develop the market of cultural enterprises, particularly theater (prose, dance, music, and children's theater), and the related creative sectors, both in terms of management, communication, and technical services.

Skills-building activities are planned, particularly in terms of internationalization, management, marketing, and the development of policy proposals to enhance the sector's potential.

Cultural enterprises will have the opportunity to present their productions in a showcase and an international festival to be organized in each of the partner territories.

The project involves the main theater organizations in the Balkan countries: in addition to the partner countries, Greece, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Macedonia, with the aim of creating a common distribution and co-production center together with the partners' theater professionals.

At 3:30 PM, at the Puglia Culture headquarters at Via Cardassi 26 in Bari, the Participatory Event for theater professionals will be held.
