From 3–6 September 2025, representatives of past, present, and future European Capitals of Culture gathered in Oulu, Finland, for the annual ECoC Family Meeting.
The meeting was hosted by next year’s European Capitals of Culture – Oulu2026 and Trenčín 2026.
Delegations came together from across Europe and beyond: from the Nordics and Baltics, all the way to Japan.
The program was filled with inspiring exchanges, presentations, and discussions on culture, legacy, and collaboration – reminding us of the strength and creativity that the ECoC family brings together.
Thank you to our colleagues for the warm welcome and the memorable experience — we return home with new ideas, partnerships, and friendships.
