‚Nagy örömmel tölt el, hogy 2023-ban egy magyar város ismét Európa Kulturális Fővárosa lehet. Ez a kezdeményezés lehetőséget ad Európa városainak és régióinak, hogy közös múltjuk felfedezésén keresztül hozzájáruljanak az európai identitás kialakításához.

Külön köszönet Pécsnek, hogy megosztják tapasztalataikat a címre pályázni készülő városokkal.’

‘The European Capitals of Culture initiative helps cities and regions transform themselves and, by inviting all of us to explore our shared history, contributes to the creation of a European identity.

I am delighted that in 2023, a second Hungarian city will be a European Capital of Culture, and I commend Pécs for sharing its experience of holding the title to support the contenders.’

Dr Péter Hoppál

Magyarország kulturális nagyhatalom.

A kultúrák európai találkozási pontján megtermékenyítőleg hatottak egymásra a különböző hagyományok, s ez gazdag, sokszínű kulturális miliőt eredményezett.

Hungary is a cultural superpower. At the European meeting point of cultures, different traditions had a proliferative effect on each other, resulting in a rich, diverse cultural milieu.

Ezt a tényt nemcsak számos, nemzetközi érdeklődésre számot tartó program támasztja alá, hanem a legfrissebb turisztikai felmérések is bizonyítják: 2015-ben Európa-szerte nálunk regisztrálták a legnagyobb növekedést a nemzetközi turistaforgalomban.

Megmutatkozásra váró kulturális kincseink azonban nemcsak a fővárosban összpontosulnak. Az Európa Kulturális Fővárosa program, amelynek első magyar kiválasztottja 2010-ben Pécs volt, kiváló lehetőség arra, hogy fókuszba állítsuk Magyarország egy-egy csodálatos szeletét. Ehhez nyújt segítséget a Europe’s Capital is Culture – Európa Kulturális Fővárosai és Magyarország 2023 címmel tartandó nemzetközi konferencia, amit az Emberi Erőforrások Minisztériuma, mint a 2023-as magyarországi pályázási folyamat nemzeti hatósága, fontos induló eseménynek tekint.

This fact is supported by not only a number of programs raising international interest but also by the latest surveys: In 2015 the greatest increase in international tourist traffic across Europe was registered in Hungary. Our cultural treasures waiting to be presented, however, are not only concentrated in the capital. The European Capital of Culture program, the first Hungarian choice of which was Pécs in 2010, offers an excellent opportunity to set a wonderful slice of Hungary into focus. An assistance for this is provided by the international conference Europe’s Capitals of Culture and Hungary 2023 which is considered an important initial event by the Ministry of Human Capacities, as the National Authority for the 2023 Hungarian application process.

az Emberi Erőforrások Minisztériumának kultúráért felelős államtitkára

Hiszek abban, hogy a kultúra megőrzése nemcsak a magyar értékek tudatosítását és ápolását jelenti, hanem a folyamatos eszmecserét is a legnagyobbak és a nagyra törekvők között.

Minister of State for Culture, Ministry of Human Capacities

I believe that the preservation of culture is not only about raising awareness and fostering the Hungarian values, but also the continuous exchange of views among the greatest and the most ambitious.

A konferencia programja Pécs és más külföldi kulturális fővárosok tapasztalatainak bemutatásával, kerekasztal-beszélgetésekkel, technikai segítségnyújtással igyekszik támogatni mindazokat, akik élni kívánnak ezzel a nagyszerű lehetőséggel. Legyenek jól felkészültek és legyenek minél többen! 2023-ban újra itt az alkalom, hogy fejlődjünk, megmutatkozzunk és közösen legyünk büszkék Európa magyar kulturális fővárosára!

The conference program seeks to support all those who wish to make use of this great opportunity by sharing the experience of Pécs and other foreign capitals of culture through round-table discussions, and technical assistance.

May there be well prepared and be more and more! In 2023, there will be a chance again to improve, to show ourselves and be collectively proud of the Hungarian cultural capital of Europe!

Dr. Páva Zsolt

Dr Zsolt Páva

Pécs Európa Kulturális Fővárosa volt 2010-ben – és mai is az.

Pécs was European Capital of Europe in 2010 – and it is still today.

Bár az évad lezárulása után, 2011ben és 2012-ben egyfajta helykeresés jellemezte a várost, most, hat évvel az EKF-események után látható igazán, hogy mindazok az infrastrukturális, anyagi és szellemi fejlesztések, amik 2005-2010 között létrejöttek, miképp rajzolták át Pécs kulturális és ezzel együtt mindennapi arculatát.

Although, closing the ECoC season one could sense a kind of hollowness in the city in 2011-12, by today, six years after the actual ECoC period, one can really see that all infrastructural and substantive and human developments which were produced did have a deep impact on Pécs’ cultural and everyday life.

Pécs MJV polgármestere

Pécs neve Európa-szerte összekapcsolódott a kultúrával, és nekem mint polgármesternek öröm megtapasztalni, hogy a közép-európai régióban, déli szomszédainknál tisztelettel és kíváncsisággal fordulnak felénk. Ugyanis Pécs 2010 lehetőségéből tovább tudott építkezni, ami mintául szolgálhat akár külföldön, de mindenképp azon magyar városok számára is, amelyek fontolgatják, hogy pályáznak az EKF-címre. Örömünkre szolgál, hogy Pécs adhat otthont ennek a konferenciának. Városunk az egész pályázati szakaszban szívesen áll rendelkezésre, bízva abban, hogy bármely magyar város is lesz Európa Kulturális Fővárosa, 2023-ban és utána is hosszú évekig élvezni fogja annak hozadékait.

Mayor of Pécs

Pécs was linked with culture in Europe, and for me, as the Mayor of the city it has always been a pleasure to experience that in the Middle- and South European region there is big respect and curiosity about Pécs. There is a quite simple reason for this: Pécs could exploit the opportunities ECoC 2010 offered, and she could be a role model for the neighbouring countries and especially for those Hungarian cities and towns who are considering a bid for the ECoC 2023 title.

It is a real pleasure for us that Pécs will host this conference. During the application procedure Pécs is ready to share all the information and experience we have, in the hope that any Hungarian city that will win the ECoC 2023 title, will enjoy its proceeds for a long time.

A beszélgetés arra keresi a választ, hogy mindennek milyen hatása lesz a városra és régiójára? Mi Pécs jövője az EKF-es múlttal a háta mögött?

This panel is seeking for answers to the question how all this would affect the city and the region in the long term? What is the future of Pécs with the ECoC-history behind its back. How are experts in different fields – that time all connected to the ECoC-project – thinking about these issues? To what extend can the sustainable effect of an ECoC be planned during the candidacy?

A konkrét pécsi tapasztalatok és jövőkép után nézzünk szét Európában!

A pódium résztvevőinek már a személyes sorsa is izgalmas, hiszen mind EKF-munkatársak voltak egykor, s ma is a kulturális-turisztikai élet aktív alakítói városukban vagy Európában. Hová jutottak és merre tartanak a korábbi EKF-ek? Tudott-e katalizátorként hatni a városra és régiójára az EKF-év? Arra a pályára sikerült-e állítani a várost, amelyet eredetileg megálmodtak?

Key note: Rolf Norås (NO) – Stavanger város kulturális igazgatója

12 am: „Dreams and Reality” – Experiences of former ECoC cities After the experiences from Pécs and the future visions of the city, let’s look around in Europe! Even the personal career of the panel participants is exciting enough: They all used to work for a ECoC-project, but they are still important players of the cultural-touristic scene of their cities or somewhere in Europe.

Where did the former ECoCs arrive, and where are they going now? Was the ECoC-year a real catalist for the city and its region? Are the cities on the track they had in mind originally?

1.30 pm: Lunch

15.00: „5 évvel később: Aktuális, leendő és pályázó városok a jövőről“ A sikeres pályázat hívószavai az Európai Bizottság pályázati kiírása szerint az európai dimenzió, a hiteles és új koncepció, a lakosság és a civil szféra bevonása (participáció) és a hosszú távú stratégiai hatások szem előtt tartása. Az éppen aktuális, a régióból megválasztott ill. pályázó városok – köztük Pécs testvérvárosai – hogyan kívánnak megfelelni ezen elvárásoknak? Saját koncepciójukban – és a jövőt építve – melyek a fő hangsúlyok, és miért? Hogyan látják városukat 5 évvel az EKF után?

3 pm: „Five years later“ – Current, future and candidate ECoC cities‘ visions A successful candidacy has to reflect some key issues of the bidding: the European dimension, a new but credible artistic concept, the participation of citizens and NGOs, and the sustainable cultural strategy. The question is, how the current, the selected and the candidate cities – among them partner cities of Pécs – would like to fulfil these expectations? Which priorities for sustainability did they set in their conceptions, and why? And – as a hypothetic question – where do they see themselves 5 years after the ECoC-year?

NEIL PETERSON

Neil is director and founder of Inside Track, an innovative, new consultancy which focuses on helping clients – normally major UK and European Cities – to deliver positive social and economic changes. A key strength of his work is the ability to find practical ways to connect cultural and sporting programming with the wider economic development of major cities.

Previously Neil had held a range of senior positions in the UK with a particular emphasis training, employment and community development. This included a spell as England’s Northern Regional Director for the Charity Commission and leading one of the early and most successful private sector welfare organisations to develop various programmes. Neil joined the Liverpool Culture Company in 2004 in the build up to Liverpool’s European Capital of Culture year (2008). There he led Liverpool’s International work and also developed the Liverpool Welcome and 08 Volunteer programmes which were highly successful customer service and community engagement programmes and have been emulated by other European Cities.

Neil has also played a significant role in the development of the European Capital of Culture project over recent years, being a founding member of the ECoC network through which the different ECoC cities support each other and share information.

His special experience is the understanding of the role of culture and sport to encourage more active participation in city life – with a strong emphasis on volunteering – together with designing special programmes to create a special city welcome for tourists. In that way the city can be both a great place to live in and to being visited.
