The first edition of the InnoCulture Conference, bringing together actors from the cultural field interested in the topic of innovation, took place in a lunch-to-lunch event at the Baltic Sea Cultural Centre in Gdańsk, Poland with ARS BALTICA as part of the organizing team surrounding PA Culture.
PA Culture, the CCI Contact Desk, the Baltic Sea Cultural Centre, the Goyki 3 Art Inkubator and ARS BALTICA joined forces to bring the InnoCulture Conference, a pilot for a Culture Forum within the EUSBSR, to life. It took place at the Baltic Sea Cultural Centre in Gdańsk, Poland on November 19th and 20th, 2024, welcoming over 60 guests interested in exploring the intersection of Innovation and Culture together. We were also happy to have our artist-in-residence Oksana Yushko (www.oksanayushko.com) share this experience with us.
We enjoyed the many great networking opportunities, moderated in the plenary sessions, in the workshops and everything inbetween. This first edition is just the beginning. While there is so much more potential to unlock, we as organizers are confident this conference has set the stage for meaningful growth and collaboration in the future.
Thank you to our partners, our key note speakers Inese Suija-Markova / Cēsis, Krista Petäjäjärvi / Northern Dimension Partnership on Culture - NDPC and Kazimierz Musiał / Council of the Baltic Sea States as well as our workshop leaders Arts on prescription / Pomorze Zachodnie, CCI Contact Desk / CycleUp, Hamburg Music, Urb Cultural Planning, Goyki 3 Art Inkubator / Music Export Poland for making this vision a reality, we look forward to developing this format further!
