Cultural Leadership Academy: online networking study tour to Czech Republic

Sector: Culture and creative industries
Type: Programme
Location: Online
Deadline: Finished
Organiser: House of Europe: Goethe-Institut Ukraine

Hop on a study tour to Czech Republic — a digital one. You will meet managers and artists moving Czech culture further. Find out about the instruments helping them carry out successful projects, study the structure and procedures of local cultural institutions, and get personal advice. Though it is an online tour, you will have the feeling of walking into the tourist information point in Brno or visiting a meeting at the local publishing house. 

Lectures and workshops are scheduled for 24-28 May 2021. We invite translators, so no English language skills are needed. 

Carefully study the application guidelines, join the online study tour, and add Czech cultural managers to your contact list. 

What do I get?
  • Lecture and workshops by 10 Czech cultural leaders: officers of art departments, managers of prominent projects, heads of galleries, publishers, directors, poets. 
  • An opportunity to visit mentor sessions with speakers to establish contacts and get advice on your project. 
  • A stipend of EUR 200 to spend on anything for your professional development: from courses to books. 
  • An asset while applying for the Cultural Leadership Academy 3.0.
Whom can I meet during the online study tour?
  • Lucie Řehoříková, cultural manager, editor, translator, diplomat and former head of the Czech Centre in Ukraine 
  • Jana Janulíková, head of the tourist information centre in Brno
  • Dora Viceníková, art director of the ensemble of the Na zabradli theatre, author, and playwriter
