On 27 January, Anna Priedola, creative producer at the foundation “Nodibinājums Liepāja 2027” (Liepāja 2027), and Kristaps Puķītis, programme partner from “Dirty Deal Audio” (association “Tālu skan”), took part in a creative industries networking event in Tallinn, organised by the CCI Contact Desk at the Goethe-Institut in Tallinn.
During the afternoon session, specialists from across the region came together to exchange ideas and forge new partnerships. Projects from Estonia, Poland, Finland, and Latvia were presented, highlighting the significance of cross-border collaboration. In addition to the public programme, the Liepāja 2027 team also participated in a CCI network partners’ meeting, where they presented current initiatives and jointly discussed opportunities for future cooperation.
Events of this kind represent an important step towards closer collaboration among creative organisations in the region. It is hoped that the discussions initiated in Tallinn will develop into new cross-border initiatives in the fields of culture, sound art, and community well-being, thereby strengthening international cooperation within the framework of the Liepāja 2027 programme.
