      <description><![CDATA[The joint effort involved in the Capital of Culture paid off. 2010 has shown that much can be achieved through culture. By joint effort I mean the hard work of the towns and cities, their cultural organisations, the alternative scene, North Rhine-Westphalia, the Federal Government, the EU and, not least, the business sector and the foundations. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[One of the many positive effects of RUHR.2010 enjoyed by the whole Ruhr metropolis in 2010 was the extremely keen interest shown by visitors. The Regional Association of Westphalia-Lippe (LWL) recorded a general rise in the number of visitors to its museums in the Ruhr area. This is especially pleasing as it runs counter to the regressive trend elsewhere in Germany.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[At the end of the European Capital of Culture year the TWINS idea may claim to have installed the strongest creative engine in Europe within just a few years. More than 1,700 partner organisations from 257 international cities, 39 countries and four continents were involved. A total of 2.5 million euros from the budget of RUHR.2010 GmbH flowed into the TWINS project. Taking the funds of the projects themselves and other patron, donation and sponsorship monies into account as well, however, the financial means available totalled about 7.3 million euros. Not yet included in this proud sum are payments in kind and services or monies that have already flowed or will still flow into successor projects.]]></description>

This year’s European Capitals of Culture are Turku in Finland and Tallinn in Estonia. Never before have two title-holders been located so close to each other geographically – they lie merely 180 km apart as the crow flies.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[What has been achieved? What has been learnt? What is to be done? The title is moving on, but the Ruhr will remain a cultural metropolis. Even before the sold-out finale on December 18, and after 5,500 events, the feedback is positive. "The idea of a Capital of Culture is a Europe that is truly lived – for the people and thanks to them," explained José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA["RUHR.2010 will say good-bye with the usual vigour and another round of strong visuals. We owe that to the people of the Ruhr region who made the European capital of Culture their own," says Fritz Pleitgen, Chairman of RUHR.2010 GmbH. In line with the guiding theme of "Change through culture," the sites for the finale include Nordsternpark in Gelsenkirchen as well as new future-oriented locations in Dortmund, Essen and Duisburg. While the torch may be passed on to another European Capital of Culture, the cultural metropolis will remain. As the region’s miners would say - Glück auf 2011!

      <description><![CDATA[Those who work in the creative sector usually find their customers in their immediate regional surroundings. But even when one's own work has long since attained international standing, the action radius often remains limited to the local level. In other words, a creative worker wanting to make the right contacts at European level needs a regular network, and a sustainable one at that.
