Part I.  ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE REQUIRED!

What happens to a cultural institution or organization when it decides to transform itself and become more “audience-centric” ? What kinds of capacities, staff development and skills are necessary? How does a committed leadership transfer commitment into concrete and cross-organizational capacity?
leaders: Alessandro Bollo & Alessandra Gariboldi (Fondazione Fitzcarraldo, IT)
Anne Torreggianni (Audience Agency, UK)

Part II.  LOCAL PERSPECTIVES: Neighborhoods
During this session we will explore the experiences of cultural organisations, with concrete examples from the Baltic Sea Region, that develop cultural formats for fostering local participatory processes. The participants will present their approaches: how do we involve diverse groups in the creative processes? How do cultural initiatives foster a sense of local community? After mapping the cases from Baltic region, we will create a pilot toolbox for creative communication in public spaces.
