The masterclass marked the continuation of Kitija Balcare’s work on the Eco-Design Guidelines — practical recommendations for cultural event organizers to help them work in line with environmentally friendly principles and Liepāja’s sustainable development goals.
On Wednesday, 22 October, the Great Amber Concert Hall in Liepāja will host the international conference “Cultural Renovation”, organised by the Liepāja 2027 Foundation (Liepāja 2027).
