About Runway | Culture
professionals
It's an educational course that allows you to improve your individual skills and abilities in cultural management over five two-day blocks (Thursday - Friday). The course will help you better navigate topics such as strategic planning, branding, audience development, teamwork, and more. This course is one of the great opportunities already offered by the European Capital of Culture Trenčín 2026.
We have successfully completed three Runway courses for Culture Professionals. Thanks to them, we welcomed several foreign lecturers to Trenčín, including British cultural industry expert David Parrish, Impact Foundation director from Poland Agata Etmanowicz, as well as Adam Pajgrt and Petr Peřinka from the Prague-based IPR institute.
Who is the educational
course for?
The program is intended for people in the cultural sector (individuals) who want to acquire new skills and network with each other. Interested individuals who are not from the Trenčín region can also apply.
Participants from various areas of culture have completed the course and evaluated their participation, for example, like this:
„There are great colleagues here with whom we are building relationships, comparing ourselves, and discovering that we have things we can share and continue to collaborate on.“
