Moderated by Ragnar Siil, an international cultural policy expert.
Debate outlines: What are the main opportunities this sector can seize, and what are the key challenges of this forced digital shift during the pandemics? What it means for cultural diversity, accessibility, live art, the creative process, the audience? How to turn an increased digital presence for cultural institutions and cultural professionals into sustainable revenue streams? How is this related to investing in infrastructure and new skills of the cultural and creative sectors? What is the role for European cities and governments to support the cultural sectors in these times of major digital shift?
The purpose of this series of online discussions titled A Plan B for the Cultural Policies of European Cities is for representatives of various European cities to exchange their experiences in providing support to artists, cultural creators and organizations during the crisis brought about by the coronavirus pandemic. Examples of good practices can serve as a model and a stimulus for European cities at a time when cultural entities must find new ways to operate.
Online REGISTRATION is open until November 5, 12.00 CET HERE.
The event will be held in English.
