Will cities need mega-events in the post-pandemic world? Will they be able to organize them? How to connect the issues of cultural heritage with the contemporary, socio-economic context of this type of event? What are the threats and opportunities of organizing a mega-event?

On September 28, the International Cultural Centre will host a meeting devoted to mega-events and heritage in the post-pandemic world, especially in the context of the coming competition for the European Capital of Culture 2029 in Poland. The discussion will be based on the Charter for Mega-events in Heritage-rich Cities, a document, developed during the HOMEE international project (2018-2021). The Charter is a set of recommendations and examples of their implementation that is meant to help cities to take full advantage of numerous opportunities resulting from organizing mega-events, while minimalizing the risks posed to their heritage.

The main discussion of the meeting will be broadcasted live on the ICC FB profile.

 The Charter for Mega-events in Heritage-rich Cities is based on an in-depth and retrospective study of five completed mega-events and a synchronous study of the life cycle of one mega event. Its content was positively validated during a series of workshops by decision-makers, local authorities and event organizers. It has also been recognized as helpful for entities organising mega-events, planning and hosting such events in historic and special historical importance places. The Charter was endorsed by such entities as: Europa Nostra, Organization of World Heritage Cities, Observatory for Research on Mega-Events, United Cities and Local Governments, Kraków Municipality, ECoC Kaunas 2022, ECoC Eleusis 2023, etc.
