Exploring the future of culture

How do you navigate a constantly changing society? The conference emphasized the urgency of exploring the future: not the future we get, but the future we want. We explored concrete trends and scenarios and saw how digital becomes our second nature. Additionally, the 'Venues of the Future' project introduced the handy toolkit 'Expanding Theatres', which helps you think beyond the traditional boundaries of physical locations.
