Bridging the Gap - Creating bridges through cultural networks

Nine million citizens live in the regions between Hamburg, Copenhagen and Malmö. For many years the cities have been actively pursuing closer collaboration with the ambition to jointly position the cities as a Northern European Centre for dynamic growth -opening a multitude of possibilities for creating a new European Region. By promoting cultural encounters beyond country borders this mutual goal becomes a living experience for the people of the North! It is important to recognize and use the mediating function of culture to move Europe together - Move the North.
