Digital labs: creative hub managers

Sector: Culture and creative industries
Type: Digital Labs
Location: Online
Deadline: Finished
Organiser: House of Europe: The British Council in Ukraine

The digital lab will bring together creative hub managers from all over Ukraine to find answers to questions that trouble all of them. 

How do we adapt to the new norm? Should we open our hubs to visitors? How do we ensure the safety of our visitors? How do we transfer our activities online? How do we compete with other online hubs? How do we define our unique proposition and monetise it? How do we connect with the community? You will find solutions together during the online sessions after a dose of inspiration from experts from the EU and the UK.

Hop onto the programme: it is more fun and more effective to work in good company!

What do I get?
  • Effective anti-crisis solutions for your creative hub based on the expertise of European and Ukrainian peers. You will discover the safety measures for offline hubs, choose an online presence strategy that fits your needs, find out how to unite your community online and make a profit from the activities of an online hub. 
  • Recent cases from the work of managers of creative hubs from the EU and the UK. They will share the ideas, ups and downs, and provide personal advice. 
  • Contacts with managers of creative hubs in Ukraine, the EU and the UK. You will track each other’s progress in the sessions and plan collaborations after the digital lab is over.
  • Ukrainian interpreter for you to communicate with international experts. 
  • Four online sessions consisting of keynotes from speakers, real case studies and brainstorming of new effective solutions.
  • Practical brief homework for some of the sessions.
