2025

The Culture for Resilience Forum 2025 will take place in Varde, Denmark, from 25 to 27 November. The international event will explore how culture enhances resilience in municipalities and regions. Over three days, the programme will feature keynote speeches, hands-on workshops, a study trip, and the festive Cultural Pearls 2026 Award Ceremony — highlighting how resilience can be built from the ground up when culture is placed at the centre of community life. 

The Culture for Resilience Forum 2025 will build on the change on the ground achieved by the strong network of residents, creative minds and dedicated partners around the Baltic Sea, and look at the future of the Baltic Pearls initiative.
