The Europe Challenge is an annual programme that offers funding and support to libraries and communities to explore how we can meet, live together and work in the Europe of today.
On 9 May, as part of our #EuropeDay22 programme and live-stream, we will showcase the stories of the seven libraries and their communities that took part in the Europe Challenge 2021 and share how they worked together last year to solve shared challenges across Europe.
The event is guided by Mitchell Esajas, co-founder of the New Urban Collective and The Black Archives (NL). We are joined by Martin Berendse, Director of the Amsterdam Public Libraries OBA (NL) and Marie Østergaard, Director of DOKK Aarhus Public Libraries (DK), to reflect on the solutions created by seven libraries with their communities. Ieva Morica, Director of the DOTS Foundation (LV) discusses how our societies need safe cultural spaces for dialogue, diversity and understanding between different people and communities, especially now.
On 9 May, we are also launching The Europe Challenge 2022 open call for every library open to the public in Europe to apply: from public libraries to mobile, rural, school, university and prison libraries, municipal and national libraries.
Join the Europe Challenge at 16:00 CET!
