Become a Liepāja 2027 Ambassador!

In 2024, we launched the Liepāja 2027 Ambassador Programme, bringing together 37 professionals from various fields – respected figures and bright personalities from across Latvia, to serve as ambassadors for Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027.

This year, we are expanding the programme by inviting residents from Liepāja, Kuldīga and South Kurzeme Region to join as Liepāja 2027 Ambassadors. These ambassadors will commit to engaging with their local communities, increasing awareness, and strengthening the impact of Liepāja 2027 at the city, regional, and community levels.

With the programme full of a variety of events, each Ambassador will take on a role that aligns with their expertise, strengths, and personal vision for supporting Liepāja 2027.

Ambassadors will contribute by sharing their knowledge and skills to help achieve the programme’s objectives, promoting its benefits and cultural significance within their communities, and actively participating in events.

They will also play a key role in strengthening public engagement by acting as a bridge between their local community and the European Capital of Culture initiative, ensuring broader involvement and awareness.
