Vragen(v)uurtje
A unique opportunity to engage with industry experts.
Do you want to grow as a cultural professional? Then you know that some questions are too complex for a workshop, article or standard advice. Sometimes you just need someone with experience in your issue. But how do you find them? And how do you ask for help if that person is not in your network or approaching feels tense? That is what the Cultuur Academy's Vragen(v)uurtje is for!
What is the Vragen(v)uurtje?
We act as intermediary and matchmaker: every year we select experienced experts from the Arnhem-Nijmegen region, people who have earned their spurs in a variety of disciplines. You choose the one you think can best answer your question. We arrange the contact. No fuss. Just an accessible moment of exchange over a cup of coffee or during a walk.
Whether you:
- Want to spar about your advancement opportunities as a manager,
- just starting out and want to know how to approach your first project professionally,
- Want to exchange experiences on setting up HR policies,
- have questions about how to write a grant application that stands a chance,
- curious about how others appeal to a more diverse audience,
- or want to discuss another specific challenge....
The Vragen(v)uurtje offers you a unique opportunity to engage in one-on-one conversation with an experienced peer.
Here's how it works
Meld je aan via de aanmeldknop. We zorgen dan dat je in contact komt met de expert! Weet je niet zeker wie je het best kan helpen? Laat het ons weten via info@cultuuracademy.nl en we denken graag met je mee.
Let op: het Vragen(v)uurtje is níet bedoeld om te onderzoeken of je geprogrammeerd kunt worden of een speelplek kunt krijgen bij de expert. Het gaat echt om inhoudelijke uitwisseling en professionele ontwikkeling.
