As Culture and Creativity for the Western Balkans (CC4WBs) enters its final year of implementation, we are celebrating an inspiring journey of collaboration, creativity and cultural exchange. Funded by the European Union and implemented by UNESCO, the British Council and AICS, the programme has supported more than 150 grants awarded to cultural organisations, institutions and individual artists across the Western Balkans. Beyond financial support, CC4WBs has invested in strengthening the capacities of cultural actors across the region, equipping them with new skills, knowledge and opportunities in areas such as safeguarding tangible and living cultural heritage, sustainable cultural tourism, cultural and creative leadership, mentoring, access to finance, project management, co-productions and international networking. Bringing this journey to Brussels, three distinguished panel discussions will celebrate the programme’s achievements, highlight the stories behind its impact and look ahead to new opportunities for regional cultural cooperation. The evening will culminate in a live concert by the much-loved regional band Helem Nejse! While the event is invitation-only for the Brussels-based audience, you can join the celebration wherever you are by tuning in to the Facebook livestream on @cc4wbs.
