Visions for the Future: second brainstorm

Looking forward into the future: do you have a clear vision of where you are headed? Are you curious to know how other socio-cultural centres across Europe tackle this question? Then join ‘Visions for the Future’, a trajectory of three online brainstorms designed to help us collectively prepare for the future. This coming February, at the second brainstorm in the series, we will discuss how the socio-cultural community in Europe can implement just transitions towards a sustainable future.
