The International Folk High School, Montebello Allé 1, Helsingør
Tuesday, January 20, 7–10 a.m. – includes a breakfast buffet
Registration at the bottom of the page – free for members (limited seating)

In 2017, the idea arose that Elsinore should aim to become the European Capital of Culture in 2032. This happened at a networking meeting organized by “Vi samler hele Helsingør.” Four years later, Elsinore 2032 was founded.

Now our paths are crossing with the network again.

In collaboration with Vi samler hele Helsingør and the International Folk High School , we invite the association’s members to attend the networking event “When a Small Town Thinks Big”—a gathering focused on courage, community, and long-term visions in smaller towns. Participation is free for members.

The speaker at the meeting is Kaave Pour. He is internationally recognized as both a designer and a strategist who helps cities and communities think long-term, concretely, and on a European scale. Kaave is the founder of the think tank 21st Europe and a former co-founder of SPACE10, the global innovation lab that turned Copenhagen into a hotspot for future design.
