In doing so, we are smartly building upon the regional development of the Zeeland Event Agenda, which is being realized under the direction of the Zeeland Culture Organization (ZCO). Thanks to this link, existing cultural offerings are optimally utilized, and we can efficiently and currently present local programming to a broad audience.<\/p>\n<p>We actively approach cultural parties who are not (yet) affiliated with the ZCO and encourage them to share their programming with us. In this way we make Vlissingen's total cultural offering as visible and accessible as possible.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to cultural programming, we also provide extensive space for events. Large and small-scale activities are given a place through our own event pages, and where relevant we support the visibility of events, locally, regionally and nationally through targeted audience campaigns. In this way we encourage participation, attendance and engagement, and contribute to the vibrant character of the city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
