Designing and implementing 27 projects, among more than 50 projects included in the winning bid book was the main objective of the co-creation phase during which Matera 2019 worked together with the local creative communities selected through the public call for project leaders.

After the capacity building programme focused on European dimension, artistic dimension, management, production of outputs for the audience and sustainability of productions, the participants drew up an in-depth executive project developed from the exchanges and the work carried out together.

A further call for proposals led to the selection of the best executive projects in which to invest the resources of Matera 2019. The implementing work will last throughout 2018 in order to be included in 2019 planned activities.
