Each city partner across its 16 European countries hosted a cross-sectoral symposium exploring the relationship between the city and its Ulysses inspired ARTS & SOCIETY theme – migration, democracy, mental health, environmental pollution, social co-existence, sexual equality and freedom of speech, amongst others. In June 2024 all partners gathered in Dublin to discuss the outcomes of the city symposia and the resulting pamphlet, Will You Answer? 309 Questions from Europe, will be published in late 2024, structured in the form of 309 questions (as inspired by episode 17 of Ulysses) as an inspiration for artists and policy makers alike. 

The symposium was an on-going process in Istanbul – meetings, discussions, mini-symposia at, among others, Bosporus University, Topkapi University, Istanbul University, Aydın University.

An inspiring and moving gathering also took place at the Balat Culture Centre, home of the Soroptimist Club.
