CITYMAKERS

The CITYMAKERS China-Europe program – as of Sept 2020 – has evolved from a project consisting of two initiating partners to a network constellation of diverse actors on various levels with several sub-projects. In the last 5 years we have enjoyed collaborating with a number of knowledgeable, prestigious, creative, dedicated, committed, wise, diverse, trustworthy, kind and unique partners!
