Marseille 2013
Marseille 2013 has evoked a lot of expectations. At the ECOC celebration in Brussels, March 23 -24, 2010 Bob Scott as head of the selection committee stated Marseille well have set a new standard when it comes to make a bid. The very concept plus the approach adopted can indeed lead to expectations that Marseille will not merely upgrade the institution of European Capitals of Culture, but provide Europe with a model for the future. This is because its intended 'atelier' to link Europe with the Mediterranean region is based on philosophical and literary premises which counter the usual commercial and image promoting concepts usually adopted by cities which have been designated to carry the title. It means also bringing to the fore the model of many different cultures living together while naming the real and hard issues is like a fresh breeze in a world which got used to all kinds of modern PR and propaganda techniques.
