Lectures & Workshops

Sharing Knowledge. Opening Perspectives. Developing Strategies.

Cultural and media institutions are facing new questions: How is communication changing in digital public spheres? How can institutions position themselves clearly in times of societal polarization? And how can they remain visible, open to dialogue, and capable of action?

Dr. Michaela Conen offers lectures, expert talks, and workshops on current issues at the intersection of culture, media, strategic communication, and societal change.

The formats combine academic and strategic perspectives with experience from institutional practice. The focus is on concrete challenges and the question of what courses of action they offer cultural and media institutions.
