Culture and politics in the COVID-19/post COVID-19 times, 9 June 2020, 10:00 CET
What is the role of the governments and cities in the Baltic Sea Region in sustaining culture during and after the pandemic period? What specific measures are taken in different countries and what is up to come? How can the cultural sector transform/adapt its ways of operating in these stressful times? What are the new ways and formats to sustain?
These and other related questions are to be tackled at the first Cultural Cities Commission webinar that will be held online on 9 June 2020 at 10:00 CET. Invited speakers and the participants will have an opportunity to discuss and exchange their worries and ideas.
