🇵🇹🤹✨ This is not the EJC 2028 logo. This is just the beginning of a dream.

A dream that is slowly becoming real: EJC 2028 in Espinho, Portugal. 🌊❤️

There is still so much to create, imagine and build together… but every great convention starts somewhere.

Espinho 2028. The dream has begun. 🇵🇹🤹

🇵🇹 The journey continues... EJC 2028 is coming back to Espinho! 🎪❤️

Two years ago, we stood on the EJA General Assembly stage with a dream: to bring the European Juggling Convention back to Portugal.

Today, that dream has become reality once again.

We are incredibly proud to announce that Espinho has been selected to host EJC 2028. It is an honour to continue the journey started by the amazing team behind EJC 2024, building on everything we learned and experienced together.

Winning the bid is just the beginning. From today, a new adventure starts—one that will be filled with ideas, teamwork, challenges, and countless hours of dedication to create another unforgettable EJC for our international community.

To everyone who supported our bid, believed in us, and voted for Espinho: thank you. Your trust means the world to us.

We can't wait to welcome jugglers, circus artists, volunteers, families, and friends from all over the world back to Portugal in 2028. Let's create something extraordinary, together.

See you in Espinho! 🇵🇹🌊🤹

📣 Europe needs your ideas, your energy, and your voice! 🌍🎪

The juggling and circus community grows stronger every year because people step forward, share their vision, and help connect others.

The European Juggling Association (EJA) is looking for new Country Representatives, and this is your chance to make a real difference.

💡 Do you have ideas to strengthen the juggling community in your country?
💡 Do you want to create new connections between local clubs, festivals, and conventions?
💡 Do you believe we can make our community more welcoming, diverse, and accessible?
💡 Have you ever thought, "Someone should do something about this"?

Maybe that someone is you.

Being a Country Representative isn't about being the best juggler or having all the answers. It's about caring for the community, sharing information, encouraging participation, and helping the voices of your country be heard across Europe.

Many countries have been without representatives for years. This means there is a huge opportunity for new people, new perspectives, and fresh ideas to help shape the future of our community.

🔥 Don't wait for someone else to step up.
🔥 Don't think you need special qualifications.
🔥 Don't underestimate the value of your experience and passion.

The EJA is built by volunteers, dreamers, organizers, artists, teachers, convention-goers, and community builders. It is built by people like you.

🎪 If you have ideas...
🎪 If you want to help...
🎪 If you believe in the power of community...

Apply to become a Country Representative and help shape the future of juggling in Europe.

Your community needs you.
Europe needs you.
Take action today!

📣 OPEN CALL – ORGANISE EJC 2028 & EJC 2029 🌍🤹‍♀️

We are opening the call for communities interested in hosting the European Juggling Convention in 2028 or 2029.

✨ EJC 2028 will be a very special edition: it marks the 50th anniversary of the EJC — a unique moment to celebrate the history, spirit, and future of our juggling community.
🌱 EJC 2029 will follow as a regular edition, offering another opportunity to bring a local vision to this international festival.

Organising an EJC is a big but deeply rewarding community effort. Local teams shape their own edition, while the European Juggling Association (EJA) supports organisers with experience, structure, and continuity.

📅 Timeline
👉 Contact us by the end of February for an initial conversation
👉 Full bids due by the end of April
