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.

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.

We are now poised to create a future for Kaunas by fully acknowledging our past and thus shaping our present. Inherit- ing confusion, we have always been and still are at the crossroads of ideas, ideolo- gies and systems. Think of Kaunas as of a multi-storey apartment block with shared ownership but limited responsibility and accountancy. The amount of social turbu- lence the citizens of this City have gone through during the past hundred years could easily be enough to delete Kaunas from the political let alone cultural map of Europe. But we are still given hands to hold the City same as our two rivers do.
We have learnt to live on the confluence and we can even help others by precisely showing how to do it, because we know we are not alone in this and a good deal of Eu- ropeans can identify with our experiences and benefit from them.
Therefore, we decided to employ the world we are given: our confusion of the past and confluences of the present, and turn them into a productive consciousness of the future by creating a new story for Kau- nas. And the idea of the European Capital of Culture is something we positively need to bring this story to life, because culture is the only means effectively capable of tying the past, present and future together.

This is exactly where our candidacy must pick
up; not just to give culture a wider-reaching role than it has previously had, but also to use culture to create social consensus and the innovative impetus to formulate a sustainable future for our city and our region. Thanks to its small size and closely linked community, our region lends itself as a laboratory, in which artistic means can be used during our year as European Capital of Cul- ture to formulate and test out scenarios for the future – and to share them with other like-minded European cities.
