TEAM BRUGES 2030
The City of Bruges put together a dedicated team in the spring of 2023. Dalilla Hermans was the project coordinator and Marthe Soete was her project assistant. Dalilla and Marthe were responsible for the main content of Bruges 2030 and have drawn up the bid-book that will be submitted to the European jury at the end of 2024. In January Silke Bomberna joined the team to take care of all things communication.
They were supported by the Bruges Cultural Policy Unit. This unit is the main contact point for culture makers in Bruges, from socio-cultural associations to professional arts and culture organisations, giving them advice and thinking along with them on how to face cultural challenges and make cultural dreams come true.
