The registration of the Liepāja brand as a trademark grants its owner, or in this case the Liepāja City Municipality, exclusive rights to the trademark in the territory of Latvia.
The two cities have committed to promote mutual cooperation within the “Liepāja 2027” and “Évora 2027” projects through diverse sectoral activities.
An open competition for the selection of the Board Chairperson and two Board members of the Liepāja 2027 Foundation has been finalised.
The municipality of Liepāja is the only Latvian municipality to have been invited to participate in the project.
On Thursday, 26 January, the members of the Liepaja City Council passed a decision to establish a foundation “Liepāja 2027 Foundation”.
At the Council meeting of the Intangible Cultural Heritage it was decided to include four new values to the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) List.
The diverse programme of the European Capital of Culture 2027 project in the period 2023–2028 will contribute to the socio-economic growth of the city, attract international attention, promote tourist flows, develop the creative industries sector, etc.
The main goal of the conference was to strengthen the capacity of European cities to implement the projects included in their applications, regardless of whether or not a city was awarded the title of “European Capital of Culture”.
The project will involve several months of research on the music field, together with representatives from other European and international countries, evaluating various criteria and developing a handbook.
The delegation in Liepaja was hosted by the City Council’s leadership together with representatives of the concert hall “Great Amber”, the Liepaja Special Economic Zone, the European Capital of Culture 2027 and 17th-19th century interior museum “Madame Hoyer’s Guest House” representatives.
