Workshops on Sustainable Cultural Management and Green Communication
10 December 2020, 10:00 - 12:30 CET
ETC is delighted to offer members the opportunity to participate in one of two parallel workshops on sustainable practices in cultural organisations. The sessions are facilitated by ETC and experts from Julie’s Bicycle.
Workshop 1: Introduction to Sustainable Cultural Management
Climate change is a global challenge that needs to be tackled today for a better tomorrow. Shifting the focus from theory to practice, this workshop is an introduction to the best methodologies and practices for embedding environmental sustainability across the operations and artistic programming of theatre and performing arts organisations.
For any queries, please contact Hélène Gauthier on hgauthier@europeantheatre.eu
Workshop 2: Introduction to Green Communication:
How can European theatres successfully engage their audiences on the climate crisis? How can theatres effectively communicate the work they’re doing on sustainability to their stakeholders? This workshop will focus on the key messaging and approaches to communicating on climate within the cultural sector, and how this connects to broader climate conversations.
For any queries, please contact Christy Romer on communication@europeantheatre.eu
