The second Pushing Boarders conference is this time coming to Malmö and not to London. Last year it developed from the Long Live South Bank movement to a conference that works as a stage for many different skate orientated issues. Town planning, inclusion, diversity, social projects – all of these are topics that will be discussed from an academic point of view. You can find the link to registrar yourself for the conference right here.
In contrast to last year they added many things. The conference for example was consolidated with three other skate related events. The Skate Malmö Street, Skate! 2019 Exhibition and the Smörgåsboard Film Festival will take place on the same weekend and together they will create a huge skate event in Malmö.
