New workshop: Cultural institutions in transformation
The cultural landscape is changing rapidly. Museums, theatres and cultural centres must find new ways to become more diverse and sustainable - and thus remain visible. Our three-day workshop ‘Cultural institutions in transformation’ will take place from 10 to 12 July 2025 and will provide practical insights into the topics of teaming, digital visibility, artificial intelligence, sustainability and strategic development of cultural brands in exchange with experts.
Participants will gain practical insights into the development of strong cultural brands, strategies for organisational development and the use of artificial intelligence. A highlight is the exchange with a cultural institution that is currently undergoing change.
