• Meaning of the oral history interviews for the European cities

• Strategies for the cultural participation policies
• Forms of creative engagement
• Ideal interview collection
  …and so on

There will be in total two rounds of 9 parallel workshops.

Each workshop is either a group of dreamers, or of thinkers, or of doers. Each group discusses a given topic and makes a scenario  – either a probable, or a possible, or a desirable one.

Closing Plenary (16 -17h)

At the closing plenary the participants will find themselves again in the temporary oracle space, where the scenarios created during the workshops will be brought together and presented.

They will form a basis for a brief discussion: several ideas from the presented scenarios will be selected and the participants will be invited to react and give their opinions about them.
