It has been three years and a completely different reality since the last edition of Culture 2030 Meeting in November 2019 due to the corona pandemic, the revival of a war situation in Europe and the energy crisis. The much discussed “return to normality” has brought us to a new, unmapped world. In this momentum, the “Culture 2030 Meeting” returns to Elefsina from 10 to 13 November 2022, creating first of all a physical space that allows us to get together again: Through a series of discussions, workshops, networking activities and artistic projects with participants from Greece and abroad, we will focus on the simple things: the cities and their communities on the one hand and the artists and their practices on the other.

The programme of the meeting has been structured in three themes. The first theme “City and Cultural Strategy” explores how a city’s cultural strategy can serve both the city’s and the artists’ needs. The second theme “RESHAPE: let’s talk again about values” focuses on the simple and basic questions that guide artistic creation: why are we doing what we are doing? How does our work serve our community? In fact, which is our community and how much do we share its needs, its concerns, its desires? In effect, what are the values that guide our practice and our work?;
The third theme “Participatory design & Networking” invites us all to actively engage in what is happening.
