Bid book Malta English
Imagine 18 is the final application of Valletta for the title of European Capital of Culture (ECoC) 2018 in Malta. The working title of the candidacy of Valletta is V.18. This book plots the development of our bid from concept to the fulfillment of the proposed Cultural Programme in 2018 and its planned legacy. We have chosen chapter titles that loosely follow filmmaking; a genre that exhibits parallels with any creative process from fledgling idea to final output. Here, we outline why film has particular relevance as a Leitmotiv for the road ahead in realising Valletta 2018.

Cultural strategy Malta English, Maltese
The Valletta 2018 Cultural Programme kicks off on the 20th of January 2018: a collection of over 140 projects and 400 events taking place throughout the European Capital of Culture year.
Valletta 2018 has invested strongly in a programme that sees the involvement of around 1000 local and international artists, curators, artist collectives, performers, workshop leaders, writers, designers, choirs and film-makers. While a number of international artists are collaborating with locals throughout the 2018 programme, Maltese artists are travelling to our twin European Capital of Culture Leeuwarden in the Netherlands as well as other cities in Cyprus, Japan, Poland and Greece.
The 2018 programme is based on a direct investment of €10 million in the cultural sector. At the centre of the 2018 programme are several infrastructure projects designed to evolve and expand well beyond 2018. Among these are MUŻA, the Valletta Design Cluster, Is-Suq tal-Belt and Strait Street.
Evaluation Malta English
Valletta was officially awarded the title of European Capital of Culture 2018 in May 2013 following a rigorous bidding process which promised a ECoC title whereby “culture is the overriding force in building individual creative careers, promoting our well-being, and in fostering our communities’ international and intercultural outlook” (Valletta 2018 Bid Book). The Foundation’s Bid Book outlined the title’s intention to establish a long-lasting legacy that “will alter the cultural and social landscape of Malta dramatically and sustainably”.
Trying to understand the true impacts of a project of the scale of the European Capital of Culture is no mean feat. The Valletta 2018 Foundation established a research department within its ranks with the precise aim of establishing a framework through which these impacts could be gauged, analysed and understood.
The studies presented within this report are the result of this extensive research process, outlining the legacy of the ECoC title across various spheres. These results, published only a few short months after the end of the ECoC year, aim to inform further research and cultural activity that will continue to build a sustainable legacy after Valletta 2018.

Report Belgium English
This report follows the second monitoring meeting in Brussels on 7 March 2017 between Valletta, one of the two European Capitals of Culture (ECOC) in 2018, and the monitoring and advisory panel (the “panel”). Valletta was recommended for the 2018 title at the selection meeting in October 2012 and formally designated as the ECOC in May 2013; the recommendations in the selection report, the two post-designation reports and the first monitoring report4 are still valid.
