Cultural Management Workshop # 3 will focus on Digital Identities of cultural and creative projects that will encourage critical thinking and reflective practice to help cultural managers define digital context and create real impact.
The workshop will help participants to find answers what the digital identity is, how to develop a voice to kickstart ideas and create unique narratives online, how to manage and curate information, as well as it will help to create an effective digital campaign that can be put into practise, how to engage target audience that exist online and offline.
The focus of the workshop is on building communication skills on any social media network. The case studies in the sessions explain how the skills can be applied to - share ideas to create new forms of collaboration, find resources and expertise and change behaviour. These skills are also important to create any sort of narrative based application such as games, video and audio content.
