Summary of the results

As part of the project, 4 workshops were held online for students, young artists and cultural workers led by Nicholas John Jones, artistic director of PRAKSIS, and Kristian Schrøder, program manager at PRAKSIS.
These workshops aim to generate dialogue between students, artists, cultural mediators and thinkers at any stage of their careers and belonging to diverse cultures and disciplines. Through exercises of mapping the scenes in Romania and Norway, the workshops focus on collective activity and the exchange of ideas, skills and information. The resulting maps were included in the mediation manual. The workshops were free and open to national and international candidates, taking place online.
