Share your idea or initiative to help achieve the goals of the Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027 project.
The European Capital of Culture is an initiative by the European Union designed to emphasize the role of culture in the development of cities. Its aim is to foster a shared European cultural identity, celebrate Europe’s diverse heritage, and promote cities internationally through a rich programme of cultural events. This initiative also strengthens the sense of belonging to a common cultural space, while highlighting the shared values that unite Europeans.
Since its inception in 1985, the title of European Capital of Culture has been awarded to over 60 cities across Europe and beyond, leaving a lasting impact on their cultural, social, and economic landscapes.
Liepāja 2027 will feature a wide range of cultural events, including international and local festivals, exhibitions, concerts, and performances. These events will involve collaborations with prominent European and global artists and cultural institutions. Some events will focus on Liepāja’s history and offer interdisciplinary and unique cultural experiences. The most anticipated highlights of the programme will be revealed in early 2026.
Local residents will be actively involved as both volunteers and participants in various cultural and community projects. The programme will support community-driven initiatives and offer educational programmes, as well as open project competitions, ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to contribute and participate.
Volunteers will be required for various activities, from event organisation to guest hospitality and providing information. For more details regarding the volunteering part, please contact Maija Jankovska, Community Outreach Manager, at maija.jankovska@liepaja2027.lv
