The purpose of this series of online discussions is for representatives of various European cities to exchange their experiences in providing support to artists, cultural creators and organizations during the crisis brought about by the coronavirus pandemic. Examples of good practices can serve as a model and a stimulus for European cities at a time when cultural entities must find new ways to operate.

First online event titled Integrating a Plan B into Cultural Strategies of European Cities (22nd June 2020) in a series of online discussions on the cultural policies of European cities in the current crisis and beyond has focused on short-term measures and long-term considerations of culture strategies. We have hosted experts and officials from Novi Sad (Vuk Radulović), Lisbon (Alexandra Sabino) and Ljubljana (Mateja Demšič), sharing their insight into various aspects of the position of culture in urban development during and after the crisis. Ragnar Siil, an international cultural policy expert, has moderated the online discussion. Watch video here.
