Cultural Leadership Academy: online networking study tour to Czech Republic
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.
