The FULCRUM Moment: Weaving the Future of Socio-Culture, Together

While marking the formal conclusion of the project, the gathering will represent far more than an ending. Rather, we see it as a tipping point, where the insights, methodologies, and visions developed over three years of collaborative work will begin to multiply. By bringing together a diverse community of cultural professionals from across Europe and beyond, we aim to ensure that the project's outcomes continue to grow, evolve, and inspire new sector initiatives and policy developments.

Why attend?

After three years of learning and envisioning, the FULCRUM partners will be bringing together cultural professionals from across Europe one last time to share, multiply, and chart the path forward. The event is designed to disseminate the rich outcomes of the FULCRUM project, spreading its impact across the European socio-cultural ecosystem.

The FULCRUM Moment will offer a unique opportunity to gain insights from the project's training programmes on community building and environmental sustainability, as well as the three brainstorming sessions of the Visions for the Future cycle. It will provide valuable networking opportunities for cultural professionals, researchers, and policy-makers. We will engage in critical reflection on lessons learned, achievements, and challenges encountered throughout the project, while participating in forward-looking dialogue on how to sustain and expand the impact of this work.

Who can attend?

The conference is open to all cultural professionals interested in the future of community-led cultural work. We welcome workers and volunteers of cultural centres and community spaces with all types of professional experience and roles. Policy-makers and funders in the cultural sector will find valuable insights into emerging practices, while researchers working on cultural policy and practice will get a chance to engage with real-world experiences from across Europe.

Importantly, you do not need to be a member of the FULCRUM partner networks to attend. This closing conference is specifically designed to reach beyond our existing networks to amplify the project's impact. Anyone committed to making cultural work more sustainable, inclusive, and impactful will discover inspiration and practical takeaways.

An extended programme will be foreseen for the project's trainees, including study visits to local socio-cultural centres on March 25th and 27th.
