Through the lens of arts and culture, Bad Ischl Salzkammergut 2024 explores the region´s history and present, as well as visions for the future, by examining its relationship with Europe and the world. In the program line GLOBALOKAL – BUILDING THE NEW, the aim is to develop action strategies for a world of tomorrow, while addressing the tensions between generations: expanding mobility and digitalization, developing strategies to value more highly agriculture as a livelihood and nature as a resource to be preserved, as well as creating educational artistic spaces.
