From July 9 to 11, the TOWCHED project brought together its partners in Lisbon for an inspiring coordination meeting—held in none other than the Portuguese Parliament (Palácio de São Bento)! This symbolic venue provided the backdrop for three intensive days of collaboration focused on advancing cultural rights and strengthening the role of civil society across Europe.
As proud consortium partners, KulturAll took part in the event, represented by Aleksandra Nikolić and Maša Vukanović. Together with fellow partners from the academic, cultural, and civic sectors, we played a role in shaping the project’s future actions and priorities.
Highlights from the meeting included:
- An official presentation of the project to the Portuguese Parliament;
- Workshops on Education for Sustainable Development and human rights;
- Strategic planning for local pilot actions and sustainable cultural participation models;
- Discussions on how to engage policymakers and amplify impact at the European level.
TOWCHED (funded by Horizon Europe) continues to build bridges between research, local action, and policy, working toward a more inclusive and culturally empowered Europe.
KulturAll is proud to be part of this journey—fostering participation, inclusion, and innovation through culture.
