Commissie organiseert openbare vergadering over toekomst Culturele Hoofdstad van Europa (en)
The European Commission will organise a public consultation meeting in Brussels on 2 March 2011 to debate the future of the European Capitals of Culture beyond 2019
There is a large consensus that the European Capitals of Culture have become one of the most ambitious cultural events in Europe. They have also become one of the most visible initiatives of the European Union and probably one of the most appreciated by European citizens.
The current European Capitals of Culture scheme lasts until 2019 and the European Commission would like to hear your views on the future of the initiative.
The public consultation meeting is open to all interested individuals and organisations.
Interpretation will be provided in the following languages: English - French - German - Spanish - Italian.
If you would like to participate, please register before 1 February 2011 by sending an e-mail to the following address:
EAC-ECOC-consultation@ec.europa.eu
Address of the meeting: Bâtiment Charlemagne, Salle Alcide de Gasperi, rue de la Loi 170, Bruxelles.
In addition to the public meeting, we would also like to remind you that you can still participate in our on-line consultation which is open until 12 January 2011
