Since its launch on 6 April at the FORTE CULTURA Fortress Conference in Terezín (CZ), around 100 fortress events in more than 15 countries took part in the European Fortress Summer 2022. The European Fortress Summer, powered by EFFORTS and FORTE CULTURA, concluded in Kaunas at the EFFORTS Annual Congress. FORTE CULTURA presented the new Fortress Summer video, and the Ukrainian fortresses were symbolically honored with this year’s EFFORTS Award. The European Fortress Summer 2023 will start at the end of March in Šibenik (HR).
