International training in Budapest as part of “CAFÉ – Cafes as European cultural heritage” project co-funded by the Creative Europe program.

In the historic Hadik Café in Budapest, together with cultural organizers and professionals, we reflected on the intersection of hospitality and culture to rethink the contemporary role of café houses in cultural ecosystems and started a collective journey toward the definition of a shared Code of Conduct and Manifesto: an identity and values tool that will lay the foundations for a new European network of cafés active in the cultural sphere, based on heritage, innovative programming, community involvement and sustainable models.
