Officially launching the Volunteer Programme, more than 40 participants of Liepāja 2027’s “Mission (un)rest” gathered on 14 June at the Liepāja Latvian Society House to learn about the significance of the European Capital of Culture title, its vision, and the upcoming journey ahead.
The aim of the training was to build a shared understanding of the programme, to provide knowledge and inspiration so our volunteers can confidently step into their roles as active represantatives of Liepāja 2027. We believe a volunteer is not just a helper – they are an essential part of the story, shaping the atmosphere and experience of every event for every visitor.
Sharing their experience and insights during the training were:
Thank you for being part of Mission (un)rest! See you at the next events!
The series of events is held under the European Institute of Innovation and Technology’s (EIT) “New European Bauhaus” (NEB) project “From Know-How To Do-How” and is implemented in Latvia by the Liepāja Restoration Centre in cooperation with the Foundation “Liepāja 2027”.
As the sun reaches its zenith and ancient fires prepare to blaze once more, Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027 invites locals and guests to welcome the magic of the summer solstice with a celebration of Baltic and Nordic unity. On 23 June at 19:30, “Nordic Solstice” will unfold in Seaside Park and on the beach combining solstice traditions, nature rituals and music.
