Everything is "sustainable" these days: food, textiles, travel, etc. But what about cultural institutions and cultural events? How are the issues of sustainability and future viability addressed here? What can cultural institutions contribute to sustainable development?
In the workshop, the conceptual background and practical challenges on the way to sustainable development were first clarified in order to then develop approaches and measures for their own field of work with the help of concrete instruments.
The 17 sustainable development goals adopted by the United Nations as an international guiding principle served as an orientation framework for this and were used to address specific challenges in the cultural sector. The aim of the seminar was to develop concrete initial ideas and measures for one's own working environment that can be implemented immediately.
The event was aimed at all actors in the cultural sector who want to deal with sustainability in their daily practice and develop first steps for their own actions.
