After being part of the UK City of Culture bid by leading the Creative Conversations, talking to over 1200 people across the county borough about what they need and want from Wrecsam's UK City of Culture bid which has the theme of PLAY, it's been inspiring to both share our insights and learn from our European colleagues' ways of working.

Oulu is also a city of MARKETS, manufacturing and waterways! We can see there is so much synergy between Wrecsam and Oulu!

Thank you to Wales Arts International Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru Welsh Government for your strategic funding support for us to represent Wales and Wrexham on a global stage, taking Wales to the world through attending the IETM plenary.

Our artistic director Catherine Paskell and artistic associate Natasha Borton are in Oulu all week to build partnerships, connect to new networks, and create sustainable project pathways to connect Wrexham, Wales, the wider UK and our international colleagues.
