Being candidate for the European Capital of Culture 2017 Aarhus paid attention to their process in involving inhabitants of the city. Project leader Trevor Davis explained how cultural mapping led to strategic plans and the development of the content for their 2017 bid. Also other discussions on Re-thinking cultural governance and Access to culture were inspiring and gave food for thoughts about the cultural policy of the cities attending. Again sharing these thoughts with colleague specialists turned out to be the benefit of attending meetings like these. Site visits, presentations about local initiatives and the cultural offer of Aarhus gave possibilities to learn top know Aarhus. For example several participants visited the biennale project Sculpture by the Sea.
