The main goal of the Culture 2030 Meeting is to forge an arena for reflection, ideas, and proposals regarding the sustainable cultural development of the Greek regions and their cities through a series of artistic projects, discussions, and workshops taking the long view to 2030.

In this way, the Culture 2030 Meeting constitutes a first-class opportunity for everyone involved to broaden their professional network both nationally and internationally. The first Culture 2030 Meeting – titled “Is Art the Capital?” – was held in Elefsina in 2018, with the second – titled “People, Stories, Culture” – following in 2019. In the wake of the pandemic and the restrictions it imposed, the Culture 2030 Meeting initiative is returning to 2023 Eleusis with two events, held in November 2022 and 2023 respectively, that focus on the meaning of “artistic nationality” (citizenship) and the prerequisites necessary for art and artists to function as agents for social change and prosperity.
