TOPICS ALL SET FOR BUENAVENTURA-MEETING

The Buenaventura-people have identified five topics. They need your input before and after the meeting:

  1. Role and worth of a cultural centre in the community: what is the commitment of a cultural centre to the community of where it is active? what does a cultural centre WANT to do, what CAN it do, what SHOULD it do?
  2. What architectural key features should be considered when building or renovating a cultural centre? We would like to continue with our current activities but we have to move out in two years. What is the suitable building for a cultural centre like ours? That is: one big venue for concerts/conferences/meetings, a theatre/cinema, small rooms for meetings, a bar, lodgings for volunteers and offices.
  3. Tips and tricks to get the people involved.
  4. How can we relate to public institutions (primarily the municipality), establish cooperation and handle conflicts?
  5. Where can a cultural centre find private sources of income?

Do you think that you and your centre can contribute to one of these issues with your experiences? We will ask every centre to decide on a working group before the meeting. Every working group will receive background information on the situation of Buenaventura but will also be asked to describe their work experience beforehand to the others in the working group.

For the meeting at Buenaventura Emma Ernsth will be your contact person at Buenaventura: emma@buenaventura.it

An official invitation will be sent out within 2 weeks.
