General and specific objectives of the
cultural project

O1. to professionalize cultural management through developing specific skills, be it entrepreneurial skills or cross skills, for a number of 10 youngsters selected at a national level, through taking part in an autumn school (development, residence, project, involvement in experiences/ events) and through internships in Timișoara European Capital of Culture ‘in the making’.

O2. to create a transdisciplinary and multigenerational network of creators, artists, managers, entrepreneurs and cultural operators that may work together and develop and implement productions and cultural and creative projects during the project and after the project is over through developing a webpage/ platform that will work as a workplace, an archive of resources and idea-generator for the network.

O3. to consolidate and build new links with artistic and cultural entrepreneurship potential between Timișoara and the creative neighbourhoods from Banatul Montan and between these two regions and other regions through reconfiguring the geography of the project.

O4.  to register the practises and the of the learning events, developement, dialogue and working on projects by conceiving a Compendium of good practises in the management of cultural projects and through a ‘making of’ film meant to promote the rising participation and the access to all cultural actors, to the traditional and non-traditional audience to the artistic act.

THE SCHOOL’S STRUCTURE

We see the TMcult Autumn School as a place of eminence. That’s why instructing and learning are grounded in principles and practices that showed their solidarity and efficiency all around the world, in universities and well-known organisations: substantial theoretical and academic training done through interactive and participative workshops, with specialised and niche themes along with fieldwork – participation and direct contact, documentation, practicing the ways of writing projects correlated with the application file/employment of the capital of culture 2021. We think that experiential learning focused on the project is innovative not only in the forming of cultural professionals and projects, but Romanian learning and teaching in general.
