Setting cultural impulses for the future - Move the North connects culture, people, regions and ideas!

The Collaboration Platform

​

Move the North is an international collaboration platform and joint strategy project where partners from Germany, Denmark and Sweden cooperate in order to create a vibrant and dynamic bridge across the Baltic Sea. 

 

With all-year-round events, Move the North presents and promotes culture of all brands, political talks and special network initiatives for the economy sector. Key element of the collaboration platform is to feature projects and events which connect participants from all three countries and regions.

The Concept

 

Germany, Denmark and Sweden count more than one hundred million inhabitans, of which nine million citizens live in the regions between Hamburg, Copenhagen and Malmö. For many years the cities have been actively pursuing closer collaboration with the ambition to jointly position the cities as a Northern European Centre for dynamic growth.

Along with the Øresund fixed link between Copenhagen and Malmö, the construction of the Fehmernbelt tunnel will bring Scandinavia and Central Europe closer together, opening a multitude of possibilities by creating a new European Region.

"We firmly believe in the power of culture. This is exactly what Move the North is about: We are a festival and network platform at the same time and we want to allow the Nordic regions to grow closer together through the use of cultural exchange, cross-border collaboration and joint co-productions and to unite in setting new impulses."

Move the North - Ambassador

​

Former Mayor of Copenhagen: Pia Allerslev is Move the North Ambassador

​

„One of the most important lessons l learned in my 6 years as Mayor for Culture and Leisure in the City of Copenhagen was;  if you want to make an impact, if you want people to discover the similarities between different cultures, countries, religions and mentalities, if you want people to reflect and react – use theatre, music and art."

​

Move the Norths combines all these things, and allows us to remember, and maybe even reinvent, the close bond between our 3 countries – and our region. This festival will have a fantastic, relevant and beautiful impact in the corporation between our nations in the years to come.“
