Italy | Culture Action Europe 2025 conference ‘BEYOND 2025’
Culture Action Europe’s flagship annual conference will take place in Turin, Italy, from 4 to 7 June 2025. Culture Action Europe members Club Silencio and Fondazione Fitzcarraldo join as partners, hosting this edition of BEYOND at Lavazza and Sermig, among other locations around Turin.
This 4-day event will bring together over 200 organisations, institutions, researchers, and activists from the cultural and social sectors to discuss current challenges and the central role of culture. A key focus will be on fostering cross-generational dialogue to bridge the gap between past and future cultural narratives.
The theme ‘BEYOND 2025: Being Many’ is a call to actionable hope in perilous times. Uncertainties shape the present and future, fueled by growing democratic erosion, shifting political landscapes, ongoing violent conflicts and the escalating climate emergency. In this context, can the cultural sector take the lead in participatory governance and collective action? What does inclusive cultural leadership look like in our shared pursuit of resistance and transformation?
