We moved on to the cases studies and hear about some great games in Pilsen, Lodz, Kosice, all three cities working with the European Capital of Culture at different levels. In both Pilsen and Lodz the game has been used in preparing bids to become European Capitals of Culture.

Strong learning points from these cases were:
1) Build a strong organisation behind you for Future City Games.
2) Relations matter - things may come from yourself personally but the partners and networks you build up are vital to making change.
3) The game achieves a number of things - in Kosice it also helped to boost self confidence by creating a mythological figure that could help the city fight some of the problems facing it.
