Different fields of economy were deeply affected, among them,\u00a0the cultural field that, in this region, is not considered essential for sustainable development of the economy. Many of the cultural operators had to cancel their activities and many of those acting in the independent cultural sector had to close their businesses with no possibility of relaunching them in the near future. In some cases, instead of bringing us together, the pandemic surfaced xenophobic and egocentric approaches. For this reason, NRCC programme aims to build a climate of solidarity between professionals from Romania, Serbia and the Republic of Moldova in an effort to launch a debate, involving independent cultural operators as well as public cultural institutions, to discuss and find solutions to common problems in order to ensure a sustainable development of the cultural sector in the region and to promote culture as a pillar in education and social inclusion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through lecturers, workshops, discussions, and presentations NRCC aims to find\u00a0 answers to questions like: what is the understanding of sustainability in the cultural field and how does it contribute to sustainable development?; What is solidarity today, how, and why it matters?; How can other fields like digital technologies, sciences etc. can contribute to the sustainable development of the cultural sector?); How to make projects relevant to different communities?; How we can address an issue to get the best possible results?\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NRCC is offering the opportunity to learn from international trainers and develop new skills, to share ideas through transversal networking with the aim of developing cross-sectoral innovation that will contribute to the sustainable development of the cultural sector.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Whom is the NRCC program for?<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are from\/ living in Romania, Serbia or the Republic of Moldova and you\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0are a cultural manager, PR manager, cultural producer, artist, cultural journalist or art critic with min. two years of experience\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;\u00a0work independently, or in a public or private cultural organisation\u202f\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;\u00a0want to build your own and your organisation&#8217;s capacity\u202f\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;\u00a0are curious about changes in the world, solution oriented in the field and want to change your working environment for good\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; \u202f \u202f \u202f \u202f \u202f are currently in the process of rethinking your activity and want to share your perspective and learn from trainers and peers\u202f\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;\u00a0want to find like-minded people and develop new ideas and solutions together\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026then, the NRCC is the right place for you! \u202f\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants will need to provide proof of Covid 19 related testing \/vaccination \/recovery from illness!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Format, events, and dates<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NRCC 2021 offers the opportunity to be part of the Cultural Management School &#8211; an intensive six-day seminar in Bucharest, and a Project Incubator taking place in Belgrade as it follows:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Cultural Management School in Bucharest<\/strong>\u00a0| 14<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0&#8211; 19<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0of September\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The programme offers the opportunity to participate in an intensive six-day seminar, which will include lectures, workshops, interactive exercises, collective and individual sessions, and other capacity building formats dealing with the topic of the\u00a0<em>NRCC<\/em>\u00a02021.
