We would be happy to receive your proposals until 14 January 2022.

The proposals will be useful both now, while planning different cultural events, and in the future to get to know the people living in each neighbourhood even better.

This year, the national turnout was critically low, for example, in Liepāja, only 28.84% of the eligible population voted in the municipal elections.

During the meeting, the representatives of the Kurzeme NGO Centre will briefly present their vision, but the main goal is to understand what the needs of the associations, foundations and active residents of Liepāja and the surrounding regions would be.

Every local company and residents are welcome to join this campaign by creating a light object on the facades, windows and doors of their buildings and properties.

One of Liepāja’s strategic goals with its participation in the European Capital of Culture 2027 competition is to implement new processes for the cultural, artistic and creative industries and boost the public engagement.

Thank you to everyone who attended the discussion and expressed the interest in this event!‍

On Thursday, May 20, members of the Liepāja City Council approved a decision on support of submitting the Liepāja European Capital of Culture application for the 1st round of the 2027 competition for the European Capital of Culture.
