Between November 22-24, 2023, we were hosted by the beautiful city of Leeuwarden, former European Capital of Culture in 2018 and keeper of an inspiring legacy programme, for the 11th Culture Next Conference.
Our encounter had two topics in mind: understanding the role of an ECoC programme within the city and region of implementation, and exploring the link between community and participation through the Mienskip concept: instinctive action-driven communities, brought together by genuine solidarity, in a bottom-up structure and dynamic.
