Rijeka 2� 2� : Port of Diver sity—Wa ter wor k migra Rijeka – Candidate City for European tions Capital of Culture

Table of contents Warm welcome to this important publication

0. Introduction – general considerations 2 The opportunity for Rijeka to compete in the final round for the title of European Capi- tal of Culture has given us great pleasure. The first step was to fully understand the 1. contribution to the long-term strategy 9 We have achieved good alignment between the existing clear and sustainable strategy of Rijeka and the boost it is given by a project such as ECOC and its 2. european dimension 17 Naturally it was very stimulating to coalesce with more than hundred international part- ners in developing and structuring of great 3. cultural & artistic content 21 that is not only a collection of serious artistic pro- ductions and projects but also a broader take on the totality of human condition. Deep underlying concept of Port of Diversity was translated to topics of Work, Water and Migrations and a number of great initia- tives. The ambitious programme will be a test for our 4. capacity to deliver 73 but we are confident that the heterogeneous cul- tural scene of Rijeka – fully supported by the City Council – will prove again it's seriousness and stamina. Existing and new infrastructures will host cultural programmes that are not merely there to be adored but are ushering a new era of 5. outreach 80 that is extended to dimensions of learning and participation. We are preparing a genuinely inclusive and invigorating set of frameworks and platforms that will change the way in which each citizen and visitor of Rijeka sees her or his own partici- pation in the public sphere. In order to achieve all that, we have carefully crafted a model of smart 6. management 85 and fully mitigated the possible risks in finances and decision making. At the end of this volume we provided just a little 7. additional information 99 because there’s always something to add.

We wrote this book, now it's time to read it.
