Attendees included representatives from UNESCO, international experts from Denmark (BLOXKUB, Copenhagen), and France (Centquatre-Paris and BAAZAR from Lille). Participants were introduced to the project for transforming the old Ložionica building into Serbia’s first center for creative industries.

The event was supported by UNESCO – Antenna Office Sarajevo, the Embassy of Denmark in Serbia, and the French Institute in Serbia.
