Lights On 2023: Sustainable Crisis Management
The 2023 edition of Lights On looked at the crises affecting cultural centres and communities at large. These crises are multiple and crosscut geographical, social, personal and sectoral boundaries. How do we cope with them? Are there common strategies to be used? Which factors can we weigh on? Are crises necessarily bad? What is the role of socio-cultural organisations in this context, and how do crises influence their relationship with local communities? How to move from crisis management to (systemic) change?
We took time to explore these questions and analyse the realities participants are living in, creating a safe space for peer-to-peer learning and support. The 5-day training took place in Ostend, Belgium, hosted by our member De Grote Post. Exchanges between participants were implemented between June and November 2023.
