Time and place: 7 February 09:15 a.m. – 09:45 a.m., Folk och Kultur, Eskilstuna, Sweden.
On February 7, Voksenåsen will participate in Folk och Kultur, a cultural policy festival in Eskilstuna, with a panel discussion on talent development. Participating in the discussion are Voksenåsen’s CEO, Maria af Klinteberg Herresthal; Director of Talent Norge, Silje Riise Næss; and President of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music, Stefan Forsberg.
The professional art scene is characterized by tough competition and internationalization. To assert ourselves, we must create strong frameworks around the exceptional to unlock the underlying potential. Culture has its own prerequisites, and there are gaps throughout the chain, from preschool to professional practitioners. In Norway, this has been taken seriously through the establishment of Talent Norge, but what do practitioners, educators, analysts, and organizers say is required to ensure top-level expertise in Swedish art and culture?
The panel discussion is open to all. More information about Folk och Kultur can be found here.
