MOVING CULTURE - COnference 24.03.2026

How can we rethink culture in public spaces and develop it further together? Under the motto „Together. Networked. Sustainable.“ we cordially invite you to the conference Moving culture on 24 March 2026, 15:00-20:00 hrs ins Young Men's House Eupen (KultKom) in.

 

The event brings together cultural professionals, project developers, representatives from administration and organisations as well as companies to exchange ideas, gather inspiration and get culture moving. Together, we will also take a look beyond the Greater Region: three exciting guest projects will present their approaches and provide insights into innovative practical examples.

Included are:

Max Gruson & Jordi Möllering

Max Gruson is a theatre maker and creative developer from the Netherlands, Jordi Möllering from the theatre group De Eenzamen in Hasselt is a theatre maker and bicycle courier. Both are working on the analogue project „6 letters to the end of the world” in which Jordi delivers letters worldwide by bicycle: using only muscle power.

 

Patricia Yasmine Graf

Patricia Yasmine Graf works as a freelance artist and designer in Aachen. In her project „9 Months - 9 Countries - 9 Projects“, she creates a participatory urban art project in each country on her journey - from large-scale murals and small interventions in urban spaces to workshops with schools or collaborations with local organisations.

 

Philipp Pollaert - WE R Solar

How can events be organised in a climate-friendly and mobile way? Philipp Pollaert shows how sustainable energy supply and innovative mobility solutions can work together in the event sector. He combines many years of experience in culture, festival organisation and transnational project work with sound expertise in sustainable project management.

 

Afterwards, all participants will have the opportunity to actively contribute their own topics: In an interactive World Café format - a moderated exchange method with changing small groups at themed tables - we develop ideas together on how cultural cooperation in the Greater Region can be networked even more closely. One Panel discussion rounds off the programme and opens up an informal exchange over music and snacks.

🕒 Time: 15:00-20:00

📍 Location: KultKom - Young Men's House Eupen (BE)

 ✨ Participation free of charge (incl. catering).

 Registration deadline is 17 March 2026

We look forward to your participation and an inspiring exchange!

Realising cross-border potential

In the four-country corner of Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and France, the European idea is tangible. Culture here can benefit from numerous cross-border potentials. At the same time, the players in this rural area are confronted with the same challenges. Due to the structural fragmentation, the audience must be activated on a supra-regional basis in order to create a critical mass, and artists must be booked from a larger catchment area. Productions are often expensive in comparison to the income that can be generated and the audience that can be expected.
 
Multiplying projects at other locations - even beyond national borders - makes economic sense. One solution is mobile meeting and event spaces, which make it possible to create a standardised infrastructure for such cultural projects at a manageable cost.

Aims of the project

Multiplying projects in other locations - even beyond national borders - to achieve economic benefits. 

Long-term networking of participants and thus strengthening the resilience of large regional networks.

Professionalisation of participants through peer learning and best practice examples.

Cross-border exchange of experiences between the participants.

What does the network do
"Moving culture"?

The network organises two Workshops and a concluding Barcamp in the border region. These serve the mutual exchange of experience and networking.

Best practice examples of cultural projects give the participants the opportunity, to realise mobile meeting and event areas at a manageable cost.
