The artistic concept of the ‘Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture’ project is based on the basic values of the European Union, such as human rights, multiculturalism, intercultural dialogue, environmental protection, culture of peace, and social inclusion. By connecting these values with history, culture and identity of Novi Sad, we designed four programme bridges, and some of them have been symbolically named after the existing Novi Sad bridges, i.e. according to the values that the city would like to strengthen and develop in the context of European integrations. These are: The Freedom Bridge, Rainbow Bridge, Hope Bridge and Love Bridge.
Programme bridges are divided into specific thematic units, the so-called programme arches – ‘Doček’, ‘Second Europe’, ‘Migrations’, ‘The Fortress of Peace’, ‘The Future of Europe’, ‘Heroines’, ‘The Danube Sea’ and ‘The Kaleidoscope of Culture’. These arches will be presented in the title year, according to predetermined timetable, within the implementation of the Bid Book projects. The goal is to make amendments to the programme from the Bid Book through participation of local and national scene.
Several another public calls will be launched during 2021, in order to improve specific parts of the programme, as well as the call for this year’s Kaleidoscope of Culture The most important programmes of the ‘Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture’ project will be presented in June, while the programme book will be presented in October 2021.
