annual PARTNER meeting in RIGA, LATVIA

In March 2026, iCoDaCo partners gathered in Riga for the annual meeting. It was a meaningful opportunity to reconnect, reflect the process of the project, and plan future activities.

The two-day meeting took place at the TRIBE Riga City Centre Hotel and the Latvian Academy of Culture. Throughout the sessions, partners reflected on the project’s progress and explored future directions through open discussions and exchange.

Partners reviewed past work, aligned on upcoming priorities, and ensured a clear, shared understanding of direction, responsibilities, and objectives across all project activities.

Discussions focused on strengthening the partnership through mutual support structures, addressing local challenges, and ensuring that iCoDaCo’s knowledge, networks, and tools remain sustainable beyond the project timeframe.

Among other topics, we explored current collaborations with artists involved in the project and tried to find ways to better integrate their needs and perspectives into future planning.

We also worked on upcoming Creation Processes and exchanged ideas for Mini-Festivals, including formats, programming strategies, and opportunities for collaboration across the network.

The meeting concluded with final reflections and a shared discussion on the next steps ahead of the project.
