The key to raising attention – challenges and perspectives of audience development along the Danube
11-13 October 2017, Pécs/Hungary
Kodály Conference Center – 7622 Pécs, Breuer Marcell sétány 4.
In the frame of the Interreg project “Danube Culture Platform” the 1st Transnational Project Conference will take place on 11-13 October 2017 at the magnificent Kodály Conference and Concert Centre in Pécs/Hungary – organized and hosted by the project partner Zsolnay Heritage Management Nonprofit Ltd, in close cooperation with the German project partner Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts Baden-Württemberg and the Federal Chancellery of Austria.
The central topic of the conference in Pécs will be audience development which is considered as a challenge for several cultural and touristic institutions and organizations in the Danube region, especially when it comes to the needs of existing and potential audiences of cultural heritage.
During this project conference experts and practitioners will discuss concepts, best practices and role models of audience relationships from all over Europe, but mainly from the Danube area, including education, programming and marketing aspects. From another perspective, the programme addresses strategic issues of the CultPlatForm_21 project such as effective transnational cooperation, innovative approaches to cultural heritage, the (re)invention of cultural routes or the application of new technologies in audience development work.
