Ivan Sergejev

Ivan Sergejev – an architect, activist and Fulbright scholar, currently serving as the advisor in the field of sustainable construction at the Republic of Estonia Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications.

Before joining the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications, Ivan helped bring about the renaissance of Estonia’s Eastern-most city of Narva through both his main responsibilities as the city's chief architect and through various cultural and community building initiatives, such as leading the city's bid for the European Capital of Culture title and co-producing the music and urban culture festival Station Narva.

On our morning talk, we will discuss how cultural initiatives and projects can invest in the city development and how big ideas become true in small cities.
