What is a European Capital of Culture?
Every year, the European Union selects 2 cities to be European Capitals of Culture. The aim is to showcase Europe's cultural wealth and diversity. In 2030, Leuven along with the East Brabant region, will receive the title.

Winning the title of European Capital of Culture is a huge opportunity to tackle major challenges together. Think of climate change and inequality. It not only strengthens culture, but also welfare, the economy, tourism and the hospitality industry in our region, both before and after the festive year.
