Legacy Without Borders – How to Build Lasting Impact Beyond the ECoC Year

You are warmly invited to the round table Legacy Without Borders – How to Build Lasting Impact Beyond the ECoC Year, taking place on 4 December 2025 from 13:00 to 17:00 at the EPIC Center.

European Capitals of Culture are not one-time events, but long-term processes that shape cities culturally, socially, economically, and environmentally. This round table, led by Rosella Tarantino (Matera ECoC) and Beatriz García (Liverpool ECoC), opens a space for reflection, exchange, and inspiration on how to carry the legacy of the ECoC year into the future.
