We have been helping municipalities in experimenting with new programmes and modalities of cooperation with civic stakeholders. In Split and Dubrovnik, in the frame of the Approaches to Participatory Governance of Cultural Institutions project, we met municipal officers and cultural producers who work on new models of innovative cultural institutions based on the principles of participatory governance. In Murcia, we joined forces with the experimental network Urbelac, connecting European and Latin American cities around innovative policies. With the Interactive Cities Urbact Action Planning Network, we organised a study visit to Helsinki and co-designed a transnational meeting in Tartu.
