Since 1985, the title “European Capital of Culture” has been awarded annually by the European Union. The goal of the European Capitals of Culture is to highlight the diversity of European culture, promote encounters and communicate European values. Cultural aspects of a city, a region or even the entire country are to be made more accessible to the European public.
In 2022, it falls to Esch-sur-Alzette, the second biggest town in Luxemburg, together with the 10 Pro-Sud towns and the 8 French towns that constitute the “Communauté de Communes Pays Haut Val d’Alzette” (CCPHVA) to be the European Capital of Culture.
Esch2022 will bring a programme of major cultural events and exhibitions, tourist and historical activities across the whole region, unique and immersive workshops and experiences and an exceptional opening ceremony, encouraging everyone to participate fully.
