CREATIVE MORNINGS MINSK
CreativeMornings is the world’s largest face-to-face creative community. In 2016, more than 150 cities were united by this initiative, yet one absolutely creative yet undiscovered city was missing on this map – Minsk. That is why Margo Lazarenkova and Alexander Starodetko decided to launch the Minsk chapter of this global community.
CreativeMornings is a series of free monthly breakfast lectures, united by a global theme that is explored with local speakers in different cities.

In 2008, Tina Roth Eisenberg started CreativeMornings out of a desire for an ongoing, accessible event for New York’s creative community. The concept was simple: breakfast and a short talk one Friday morning a month. Every event would be free of charge and open to anyone.
In February 2016, the BALKI Project team launched the monthly Creative Mornings breakfast lectures in Minsk. Our lectures gathered the creative community in different places every month. And our guests and speakers shared their experience, advice and ideas.

For almost 4 years we held more than 40+ events, building a true morning community.
