Do you have an idea how to move Nitra forward? Do you want to organize a festival in the city centre or a market in your neighbourhood, start a community garden next to your apartment block, redesign a playground or organize a series of workshops? Or are you already doing a similar project, but need help with it?
Nitra’s European Capital of Culture 2026 candidacy is a great opportunity for you to present us your idea! Get involved in the process of creating our city’s future and transform Nitra into a creative space for its residents and visitors.
The NITRO project
The NITRO project is an accelerator of ideas for creative projects in need of partners. If you have an idea or an ongoing project and the will and energy to be a part of a breaking point in our city’s culture, join us.
Anyone can apply, an individual or an organisation, who wants to participate in launching long-term projects for developing Nitra’s culture and thus attracting the attention of the European cultural community.
Your idea can take any form – whether it’s an international festival, a series of creative workshops for children or constructing a community grill in your neighbourhood.
