When Liverpool was chosen to host Eurovision 2023 on behalf of Ukraine, something remarkable happened. Even before the music began, the city felt it. Anticipation grew. Pride swelled. And a shared sense of purpose brought people together.
Spirit of 2012 supported Liverpool City Council to deliver two strands of work for Eurovision 2023 – the EuroLearn schools programme, and a major study by the University of Liverpool into the social impact of the event. Partners like Culture Liverpool helped to spread the spirit far and wide.
Through EuroLearn, 17,746 pupils across 257 schools explored music, language, identity and creativity. The schools promoted Eurovision-inspired class projects – from making pysanka eggs to staging mini-Eurovision contests – to bring learning to life and help children feel connected to the city-wide celebration.
“People need a sense of belonging. This event was that! Didn’t matter who you were – you belonged to it.”

“Everybody, even if they weren’t necessarily a Eurovision fan… took ownership of it. It was almost like we thought ‘we will take that under our wing and we will run with this now’.”
