Here you can read our publications and find inspirational tools to support your legacy process.
Inspiration Cards
Copenhagen Legacy Lab has developed 15 cards to inspire congresses and events with activities that can be carried out during the event period. Each card highlights initiatives and examples from real-life cases showcasing how other congresses and events have generated long-term societal value. Below, we have made 4 of our 15 inspiration cards available.
Posters
In addition to the inspiration cards, Copenhagen Legacy Lab has developed four posters to support the legacy planning process. The first three posters help identify and frame legacy challenges and opportunities, as well as design legacy activities. The fourth poster focuses on planning the evaluation of the legacy project’s impact.
Identifying our Legacy Potential
Explore the shared interests between the association and the local destination - and identify an issue or opportunity that will serve as the focus for the legacy project.
Framing our Legacy Challenge and Desired Impact
Describe the problem we want to contribute to solving through our legacy challenge - and the impact we hope our solution will have.
Building our Legacy Solutions
Explore as many alternative solutions to your legacy challenge as possible before you decide which one to develop further.
Measuring our Legacy Impact
Draft an evaluation study for evaluating the impact of your legacy efforts, including what data to collect and how to do it.
