The European Capital of Culture Bad Ischl - Salzkammergut 2024 is part of the Creative Europe Project Libertalia, which invites young people to expand their skills and experiences in the field of participatory performance in exchange with other Europeans.

The European Capital of Culture Salzkammergut 2024 starts with the pop-up film festival "Points of View“ a series of events about architecture and regional development as a prelude to the Capital of Culture year 2024. "Points of View" is part of the Salzkammergut 2024 program-line GLOBALOCAL - BUILDING THE NEW.

380 interested people accepted the invitation to the "Marketplace of Ideas" in Bad Ischl. Artists, creatives, entrepreneurs, funding, politics & tourism met for exchange.

From now on, the European Capital of Culture Bad Ischl - Salzkammergut 2024 boldly calls itself “The Originals 2024” (“Die Originale 2024”). This brand offers all the freedom under which a diverse program can develop. At the same time, it reflects the region. The motto “No Copies * No Limits” shows that Die Originale 2024 is unique but does not close itself off. It has no boundaries.

The Veszprém-Balaton 2023 European Capital of Culture Programme and Salzkammergut, title holder for ECoC 2024 jointly recommend the i-Portunus mobility programme to musicians, composers and singers active in classical music, jazz and folk (traditional) music.
