Specials Programmes Programme, 2017

A multi-day speculative visioning event inviting the Maltese population to develop ideas for speculative programmes the EU could launch in the future. We were hosted by Time's Up Linz and it was held in February 2017 in Malta at The Grand Master's Palace, Valletta and MCAST Mosta.
