The Europe Challenge

Libraries and communities solve challenges to make a stronger Europe

Guided by Mitchell Esajas, co-founder of the New Urban Collective and The Black Archives (NL), we were joined by Martin Berendse, Director of the Amsterdam Public Libraries OBA (NL) and Marie Østergaard, Director of DOKK Aarhus Public Libraries (DK), to reflect on the solutions created by seven libraries with their communities who participated in the first Europe Challenge. Ieva Morica, Director of the DOTS Foundation (LV) discussed how our societies need safe cultural spaces for dialogue,diversity and understanding between different people and communities, especially now.
