In 2023 we conducted two practice-based training events in Sofia and Plovdiv on the topic "Vitality" for cultural organizations.
The events connected 33 participants from different part of Bulgaria with 7 international and local experts: Petya Koleva, Millena Bernenkova, Nadya Mihova, Josyane Franc, Tzveta Andreeva and Steven Malliet from LUCA-KULeuvenf, Antonia Dimitrova from ‘The Collective’ foundation. The program was valuable also with the opportunity it provided to participants to get to know the contemporary business models of centers for culture presented by Vesselin Dimov from Toplocentrala, and Violeta Lazarova from the “Travellers Club” and Sofar Sounds Sofia. The participants in Sofia also experienced the artistry of two contemporary music artists: Floralyn and Amira, and those in Plovdiv visited the museum house of Hristo G. Danov.
For all cultural organisations, creative professionals and businesses who want to develop their organization in terms of partnerships and public relations, we have prepared the above training videos in Bulgarian.
In the videos Intercultura Consult experts explain:
● the concept of vitality and its relation to organizational sustainability;
● the creative ecosystem by Dr. Petya Koleva;
● main areas for building proposals at the European level;
● current possible forms of support from some key EU programs;
● examples from ongoing projects;
● the process of preparation, execution and implementation of innovations through co-created projects and solutions;
● the role of cultural organizations today;
● marketing and attracting audiences;
● the role of team dynamics for the vitality of organizations;
● the experience of the participants in the trainings.
The videos are the result of the project "Vitality" of Intercultura Consult, co-financed by the Bulgarian National "Culture" Fund.
