Independent Event: ReCrAFting Cities

Started in 2022, Creating Actionable Futures (CrAFt) is a three-year project founded by the Horizon Europe programme of the European Commission to place the transition to climate-neutrality at the heart of urban stakeholders.

In the spirit of the New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative, CrAFT envisions a future where arts and culture are catalysts for a profound transformation of our cities towards climate neutrality. We are therefore committed to fostering collaboration and co-creation among cities, citizens, policymakers, artists and cultural operators.

Recrafting Cities is a 3-hour online session bringing together city and cultural representatives to exchange experiences around the contribution of arts and culture towards inclusive, creative and sustainable urban spaces.

Through riveting keynotes, inspiring case studies, and engaging participant interactions, ReCrAFting Cities embarks on a journey to explore the intersection of culture, environmental sustainability and livable neighbourhoods.
