About the Forum
The Culture for Resilience Forum 2025, taking place in November in Varde, Denmark, marks the final conference of the BSR Cultural Pearls project. Over three years, the project has empowered towns and cities across the Baltic Sea Region to use culture as a tool for building stronger, more inclusive communities. Together, we have created a network of proud residents, creative minds and dedicated partners who have turned ideas into real change. The forum will celebrate these achievements and open the door to what comes next.

Why attend
This is your chance to explore how culture can drive social resilience and local transformation. The forum offers hands-on tools, inspiring talks, and fresh insights from those who have led change on the ground. As part of the Forum, you will take part in workshops, keynotes and meetings with leading experts from the BSR Cultural Pearls project. You’ll have the chance to gain tailored knowledge, celebrate at the Award Ceremony for the 2026 Pearls, and enjoy the festive project closure event, which will also feature informal activities. It’s a moment to connect, reflect, and gear up for the future with renewed creativity and confidence.

The forum welcomes local decision-makers, cultural professionals, policymakers, civil society organisations, and anyone working at the intersection of culture and community development. Whether you’ve been part of the Cultural Pearls journey or are curious to join in, this is the place to be.
