Almost a year after the first, successful large-scale consultation exercise organised by Lemesos 2030 in November 2023, the ECoC candidate city is now hosting a second similar exercise titled “10 10 100 – Views on Cultural Spaces”. Mainly addressed to the cultural and artistic communities, the event is scheduled to take place on Saturday 21 September 2024 at 16:00 at Tasos Papadopoulos Building, Cyprus University of Technology.

One hundred individuals divided across ten tables will express their own views, ideas and priorities in the frame of moderated roundtable discussions. Centred around the subject of Cultural Spaces including infrastructures that serve the artistic and cultural production and creation in the city of Limassol, this second edition of 10 10 100 aspires to map the needs and suggestions of artists, cultural stakeholders, producers and associations, thus actively involving them in the city’s cultural matters and in the ECoC bidding process.

These constructive discussions will be moderated by a ten-member team of Lemesos 2030, consisting of individuals who are themselves weaving the cultural fabric of the city through their daily interaction and involvement with the artistic and cultural sector. Under the, now established, appealing dictum “{Imagine}”, Lemesos 2030 will re-create the space for cultural professionals to express their needs and directly take part in decision making related to the city of Limassol. A consultation exercise, a collective practice with 100 Limassol-based citizens, residents and cultural professionals.
