From 14th to 23rd September 2019, our Croatian partner, Kontejner will welcome its fourth and last lab framed into a new educational programme for young cultural workers.
TOPIC
The programme is directed towards planning and production of large-scale, complex cultural events. During the 10 days of education, the programme encompasses multiple levels – from project management, technical production and curatorial work, to finances and marketing.
All participants will gain their theoretical and practical knowledge by working in real-time, on a real project – our Extravagant Bodies: Extravagant Love festival taking place in Zagreb, in September 2019.
Learning both theory and practice through the case-study example of this renowned festival, the participants will meet and work with over 30 international and local artists and cultural workers.

Kontejner will deliver a certificate for the beneficiaries at the end of the programme.
