What are the best practices when organising a sustainable event? How have other European Capitals of Culture organized themselves to propose truly accessible initiatives?

In addition to Nova Gorica-Gorizia, delgates from four other European Capitals of Culture were invited: Esch-Sur-Alzette (Luxembourg), Veszprém-Balaton (Hungary), Timișoara (Romania), and Eleusis (Greece).
