BECC kickoff Seminar 2018

General

Cultural management & the digital shift -
Using the digital process to reach out and increase participation.

Digitalization has profoundly transformed culture and arts in terms of production, creation and cultural participation. Contemporary cultural workers need to manage and develop their digital skills and competencies in order to be part of the knowledge society, and to work towards the modernisation of cultural centres and the empowerment of their communities.

This theme will intersect with cultural management, a very popular topic among BECC participants, embracing the personal predispositions and interests in the fields of professional development and culture. This part of the training will be enriched with elements of coaching.

The ENCC prepared the programme in collaboration with trainers Dagna Gmitrowicz (PL/DE, Erasmus+ Agency trainer, Facilitator and certified Art-Therapist), Katrin Reiter (AT, Strategic developer and planner for IKULT and Coordinator and public relations planner of the Guidance Network Salzburg) and Andrea Folie (AT, Founder/Owner IKULT, Intercultural projects and concepts, project manager “Arrivingtour QUERBEET” Gemeindeentwicklung at Salzburger Bildungswerk. Management assistant of the umbrella association for Salzburgs cultural sites, board member of the cultural advisory board of the province of Salzburg).

For this 2018 edition, thanks to the support of EC Programme Creative Europe, the ENCC was able to invite 10 colleagues from 10 European countries for an 8-months-long learning journey with two main activities: the group kickoff Seminar in Andros island, and the individual mobility programme (minimum 7 days for each participant)

BECC Seminar 2018

27th-29th March 2018, Andros Island, Greece

The "fire-up" event will take place in Greece, on Andros Island, and will be hosted by PLEGMA, local cultural organisation and ENCC member. It will be the first opportunity for participants and mentors to meet in person. The three-day meeting will offer different formats that will empower participants in their process-orientated learning journey. The Seminar will also be a moment to make choices about partner organisations for exchanges. The additional study visits will help learn about local context and cultural activities in Greece.

Please see below for information about the programme and technical arrangements. For any questions about BECC please contact Programme coordinator Kasia Skowron.

Programme

Cultural management & digital shift.
Using the digital process to reach out and increase participation - about the trainings

BECC as a learning experience by Dagna

I invite you for a self-directed learning journey, which starts now (the moment you read this introduction), and ends at the evaluation phase of this project.

I will offer different tools supporting your self-reflection, self-assessment and self-empowerment in the context of your professional development. Moreover, I will stimulate the group process underlying the importance of a learning community and stimulating creativity grounded in micro-interactions. You may expect individual work, small chats with me, work with your learning peers and within the whole group.

Using the digital process for reaching out and increasing participation by Andrea and Katrin

The spirit that guides the training will be collaboration: get in contact, share experiences and knowledge, explore new tools and digital possibilities, expand your network, learn from each other, get ideas for participative audience work.

The training will be participative, there will be the space to develop and experiment crossmedia together, in action. Some people will contribute to the training online and there is a field trip planned to get inspiration and insights from outside.

The focus is on the process and the power of strategic networking in an analog and digital way, during the whole workshop days and the digital shift hours. We involve people, their knowledge, experience, skills and needs. The participants will get in touch with their vision, share their ideas, tools and projects, explore the possibilities, make connections, scout their space, focus on their target groups and multipliers, and expand their services, always keeping in mind the strategic red line. Exploring and expanding the skills is the topic.

The following questions will be guiding us:

How do we use digital tools to think strategically? What is our content?
How can digital tools support my goal, my project, my team, my community?
How can I reach different targets, a new audience?

The workshop structure:

get in contact - participative digital networking
the magic of structure, network and (digital) space and
how to manage these strategically to keep the focus and achieve our communication goals
discover together the digital tools and the practical power of cooperation

Speakers & Study Visits

Dagna Gmitrowicz

I am a visual artist, facilitator, coach, therapist and process designer who creates meaningful learning spaces at conferences, workshops and in my studio. I strongly believe in and support a collaborative work culture – one that uses the potential and strengths of everyone and taps into the collective creativity of the group. Just recently I’ve created new methods supporting the empowerment of those who come from less privileged groups. In particular I was working on two methods: 'visual conversations' for Sparckatcher project and 'street stimulation' for Occupy Learning. I have also worked, among others, with: Erasmus + National Agencies, Euroguidance, Bundesvereinigung Kulturelle Kinder- und Jugendbildung (BKJ), Cabuwazi - pedagogical circus, the ENCC and other NGOs from throughout Europe. I also co-manage my own cultural foundation in Poland. I now work and live in Berlin.

Andrea Folie

My passion lies in art and cultural mediation, creating participative models for education and cultural projects in rural areas and linking them through strong national and international networks (both digital and face-to-face).

My passion lies in art and cultural mediation for theatre, concerts, school projects and more. I create intercultural and intermedial participation models for local communities and their citizens, for educational and cultural associations and I develop strong national and international networks (both digital and face to face) between them - . Digital tools are interesting instruments to expand horizons and open new communication possibilities.
It is a fact - the digital shift is changing our lives and our business structures. There is no way around it: we must create digital concepts. In the end, it always comes down to project-specific questions : how we can reach new audiences? how we can create networks with the resources that we have (time and members)? Finding answers to those questions in one of my strengths.

I am experienced in

- art and cultural mediation
- creating and developing intercultural and intermedial project for associations and communities

- community development

- strategic thinking for art and culture centres
- network and cooperation development

I will share
- creating individual ideas for specific digital concepts
- strategic and network thinking for projects and associations

- how I reach different target groups on a intermedial and face to face communication

- inspiration

Katrin Reiter

It’s all about creation. I love to look behind the scenes, bring structures into question and connect people with different backgrounds. Digital networking is a big playground to think, interact and communicate in a different way. And that is a big chance as well as a challenge.

I am a strategic networker and developer in the field of intercultural and intermedia education. My speciality is connecting people with different backgrounds in different institutions and giving them time and space for participative conception and strategic development. In recent years, content marketing and thinking from the perspective of the audience has become increasingly important, as well as the question 'How can we reach people?'. This in turn is changing organizations' structures. The driving force of those changes is the new ways of communication brought by the digital shift. Digital networking is a huge playground to interact, communicate and think in a different way. And that is a unprecedented opportunity as well as a challenge which calls for strategic thinking, evolving people, resource sharing and continuous networking.

I have experience in

- developing and coordinating networks on different levels

- creating participative concept and formats for rural areas

- marketing strategies and cross-media content marketing

- mixing up different tools for different reasons for a single strategy

I will share

- knowledge and experience about how to connect

- how to build up and coordinate networks and cooperations

- tools and strategy

- ways to reach different target groups

- how to create content with network-power

During the Seminar, the team of trainers will be supported in terms of technicalities and logistics by our colleague Ioana Crugel.
