Remain capable of action - take a stand: Extreme right-wing and right-wing populist challenges in the cultural sector
Extreme right-wing and right-wing populist positions are increasingly presenting cultural stakeholders with concrete challenges - both in public relations work and in event organisation. This face-to-face event offers space to categorise typical situations and strengthen confidence for everyday professional life.
The workshop will focus on different manifestations of right-wing extremist influence in cultural institutions. The focus will be on extreme right-wing hostility in social media, for example in the form of shitstorms, but also the manifest disruption of events or problematic requests to cultural institutions that aim to fundamentally delegitimise their programmatic orientation. A common clarification of terms creates the basis for being able to better categorise phenomena such as right-wing extremism or corresponding social movements. Building on this, strategies for action and ways of positioning oneself will be developed and support services presented.
The event is practice-oriented and designed for a manageable group of interested parties who are primarily involved in public relations work, programme design and the planning and implementation of cultural events. Participants' own experiences, questions and specific case studies, which are collected in the run-up to the event if possible, form a central working basis. The aim is to develop options for action in the sense of a human rights-orientated attitude and to support cultural professionals in being able to act in a positioned and confident manner in the "worst-case scenario".
Target group
The event is aimed at cultural actors, especially those working in public relations, who are confronted with extreme right-wing or right-wing populist challenges, have to take a stand and are confronted with specific conflict or crisis situations in their work.

Instagram offers far more possibilities than simply publishing individual posts. This event deepens the handling of formats, functions and content and focusses on strategic storytelling and professional content design in the cultural sector.
Participants will look at current functions and trends, including reel effects, templates and interactive elements. Selected examples will be used to analyse how successful cultural accounts work and which design and dramaturgical principles play a role. One focus is on the basics of storytelling: how can projects, processes and the people involved be translated into visual stories?
In addition, the focus is on reels as a central storytelling tool, the creation of effective stories and the development of content series and recurring formats. In a practice-orientated mini-workshop, participants will create their own micro-stories or short reel scripts. The event combines input, practical exercises and dialogue on your own accounts and planned topics.
Target group
The event is aimed at cultural actors who already have basic experience with Instagram and would like to develop their content more strategically, creatively and narratively.
