Light for culture

Zdeněk Pánek participated in the all-day event Light for Culture at VILE Štvanice. The aim of the conference is to support the creation of a community that will be able to respond to current challenges in the cultural sector, while also offering a space for sharing experiences, mutual inspiration and finding concrete steps towards greater resilience and self-confidence of the cultural environment.
