Networking cocktail: Meet with European cultural networks

Skåne-based arts & culture operators are offered a unique opportunity to meet with European cultural networks and get to know their activities and the many services they provide both to their members across the continent and the Culture field in general. This gathering of European cultural network communication managers, hosted by Trans Europe Halles, were invited in Lund, to reflect among peers on their practices.
