We are very happy to announce the second ADESTE+ Summer School in Croatia: “Engaged Audiences: Strategies for Cultural Change” will take place from 21st to 25th September 2020 in Rijeka.
In 2020 Rijeka is the European Capital of Culture and it will become the centre of significant and extensive events of culture and the Arts.
The Summer School and Conference in Rijeka will address the difficulties we face as cultural managers, when it comes to changing cultural institutions and practices. At the first summer school in Lisbon, it was widely agreed, that cultural institutions need to change their ways if they are serious about leading actual cultural democracy. But how? And to what? Meanwhile, we leave you a small summary of our first summer school in Lisbon. You can find more in our website and our Vimeo channel.
In the first three days of the Rijeka Summer School, participants will be introduced to various external and internal aspects of audience engagement and organizational changes, while the last two-days, which coincide with the European Conference open to more professionals, will be focused on current challenges and perspectives of participation in culture.
The ADESTE+ Rijeka Summer School fosters a hands-on approach, which introduces participants to the overall conceptual and theoretical framework of audience development and invites them to engage proactively with participating organizations, practitioners and experts.
Participants will be able to create their own knowledge and participation path, choosing activities and themes and participating different laboratories, debates, lectures, discussions, workshops according to their interests and needs.
