Procedure and schedule

The planning process begins with an inventory: what cultural offerings are there in both cities, which associations are active, what cultural events do the citizens like to vistit, what offerings are missing? In order to get a holistic picture, everyone was called upon to participate in the surveys. The results of the stocktaking can be found in the review of the kick-off event.

There were a total of four events as part of the participation process, attended by cultural practitioners, artists, interested citizens and cultural politicians. We are pleased about the lively participation in the events!
