21 - 25 MAY 2026
THE EUROPEAN STREET CULTURE CONFERENCE
For the first time, 27 countries gather their voices in Strasbourg to lay the foundations of a European structuring of urban cultures.
From 21 to 25 May 2026, Strasbourg hosts Meeting of Stars — The European Street Culture Conference, an unprecedented gathering bringing together 27 representatives of urban cultures from every EU country.
A public presentation will be held on Monday 25 May 2026, 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM at La Grenze, Strasbourg.
Immersion at the service of reflection
In parallel, participants will benefit from an immersion in the NL Contest ecosystem, allowing them to observe a structured model, meet different actors and feed their reflections with hands-on experience.
This immersion is an observation and exchange tool at the service of the work, without being its core. NL Contest is not the subject of Meeting of Stars: it is its living backdrop.
Immersion windows:
- Friday 22 May: afternoon from 4:00 PM
- Saturday 23 May: afternoon
- Sunday 24 May: afternoon
Vivant en Grèce, où nous avons traversé des crises successives, il est temps de créer un point de référence.
Toward a European manifesto of urban cultures
At the end of the sessions, participants will work collectively on drafting a European manifesto aimed at:
- making shared values emerge,
- formalizing common observations,
- identifying priorities,
- laying the foundation of lasting European cooperation.
This manifesto will serve as a foundation for building the future European Street Culture Conference (Assises).
Nous avons toujours pensé que seules des choses positives pouvaient résulter d'une approche coopérative et de partenariats.
A public presentation open to all
On Monday 25 May 2026 from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM, a public presentation will be held at La Grenze, 23 rue Georges Wodli, 67000 Strasbourg.
This time will be used to:
- share the takeaways from the exchanges,
- present the first orientations of the manifesto,
- expose the European vision of the project.
The event is free and open to all, with registration via this form.
The highlight: the public signing of the manifesto by each of the 27 representatives, marking the ambassadors' collective commitment to sustain the exchanges, cooperation and reflection around urban cultures in Europe.
