Today, we introduce you to the current situation in Europe through his text that is originally published on our Facebook page.One of the objectives of this visit to Europe was the ECoC Family Meeting, a networking meeting of the European Capitals of Culture which took palace in Kaunas, Lithuania. It brought together representatives from many of the host cities from 2008 to 2026. For four days, discussions continue from morning till late at night. A great deal of information was gathered, which each of them will use in their own activities. It was the first time we reunited altogether in the last year and a half, since the opening ceremonies in Rijeka (Croatia) and Galway (Ireland) in 2020, due to pandemic action restrictions. All participants felt the joy and importance of being able to talk face-to-face. Petr Simon was one of them. He is a member of the team of the European Capital of Culture PlzeÅ 2015 (Czech Republic). As soon as the decision was made to hold the ECoC in PlzeÅ in 2010, he started to prepare a joint programme with Japan. Thanks to this, the year 2015 saw a very diverse and high-quality Japan-related programme throughout the year, including kyogen, calligraphy, contemporary art, dance, digital art and orchestral performances. This legacy is still alive and well in the cultural activities of PlzeÅ.In the left picture, the left is Mr Kogi and the right is Mr Petre SimonThe ECoC Family Meeting in Kaunas was the first offline meeting in two years, so it had a special meaning for participants to meet again after the difficulties caused by the pandemic. How did our friends in Europe manage to maintain and develop their activities? In the session on "ECoC vsPandemic", the struggles of each city were directly felt. It gave me a lot of courage. The severe lockdown meant that people were not allowed to go out, and the empty streets looked as if martial law had been declared. Many young people felt the same fear and isolation that their parents' generation experienced during the war. That is why maintaining and renewing cultural activities was an urgent mission. In one photographic project, photographers went from house to house, capturing the warmth of people's faces through their windows. Musicians played for the people on the balconies from the courtyard. Digital activities were carried out using sophisticated technology and a diverse programme of art, music and literature were transmitted around the world. The ECoCs presented a vision of a future in which the whole world is connected, not only by the citizens and visitors of its cities but also by high-quality online delivery and programmes after the pandemic. At the end of the discussion, a comment was made that the most important thing during the pandemic was the trust between people. All the participants nodded their heads in agreement, which gave me great hope for the future of our culture.In 2022, Kaunas (Lithuania) and Esch (Luxembourg) will hold the title year together with Novi Sad (Serbia), its original title year was 2021. Three cities were the main presenters for this session.
