Edinburgh: a festival city

The 2013 edition of the Edinburgh International Festival is currently enlivening the city of Edinburgh (9 August until 1 September 2013). It is one of the brilliant festivals hosted by the Scottish capital each year. Every August, it transforms one of the world's most beautiful cities, presenting three exhilarating weeks of the finest creators and performers from the world of the arts - for everyone. Being a renowned cultural event and a significant protagonist of the local cultural sector, the Edinburgh International Festival is the ideal partner for the 2014 Atelier for Young Festival Managers.

The cultural scene of Edinburgh adds a remarkable value to the programme and the beautiful and well preserved historic town will be the perfect backdrop for the Atelier EDINBURGH 2014, a unique location which the Atelier’s participants will be able to discover.
