On Friday, 12 December, members of the Liepāja 2027 community programme “Neighbourliness” gathered at the Kuldīga Art House for a workshop titled “Forum Theatre for Community Solutions”, facilitated by forum theatre expert Agnese Lapiņa.

Liepāja 2027 is seeking professionals in the creative industries — project management, production, communication, and marketing — to jointly deliver an ambitious cultural program featuring hundreds of events from 2025 to 2027.

To enrich the programme of Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027 with innovative, interdisciplinary, contemporary and outstanding cultural events, hence boosting the international cooperation, the Liepāja 2027 Foundation is launching an open international competition for the co-financing of cultural and artistic initiatives.

Over the weekend, 30 young people from Liepāja, South Kurzeme and Kuldīga took to the stage to present their culture venue development ideas as part of the Liepāja 2027 youth development pilot programme. After a day of pitching, the jury awarded the main prize of €1,000 to the team behind “Ravegrieži”, a summer solstice rave set to take place in Kuldīga on 20 June.

On 6 May, from 11:00 to 13:00, everyone is warmly invited to the Chamber Hall of the Liepāja Great Amber Concert Hall for the public presentation of the evaluation study results of Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027 (Liepāja 2027).
