It was organised by Echodrama Cultural Group (Greece) and TFF TheaterFilmFest gUG (Germany). It was co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, through the Youth and Lifelong Learning Foundation (I.NE.DI.VI.M.), which is appointed as the National Agency for Erasmus+ for the Youth sector in Greece.
