Skopje is first. Laboratorium wins the free Event licence.

At our first webinar for future Hosts, on Thursday 12 November, we drew one free Event licence: the right to hold one evening of Who are you? in your city. It went to the team of Laboratorium, a cultural centre in Skopje, North Macedonia.

How the draw worked

Six digits were hidden in the slides of the webinar. Everyone who found all six entered the draw, and the winner was picked live on the call, in front of everybody. Applause followed.

Congratulations to Predrag, Dejan and Iskra. Laboratorium already has what an evening needs: a hall, a bar, light and sound. And people who know how to bring a city together.

Now we wait for the opening

The road from a won licence to a first evening is short:

1. The team fills in the Host application.
2. We hold a first working session together.
3. The venue is confirmed with the authors of the format in Zürich.
4. Skopje opens its doors: two rows of chairs, a hundred questions, and no talking.

We will tell you here how the first evening in Skopje goes.
