Kom je ook?

Web2.0 in cultural heritage, art & culture

Web2.0 are interactive webapplications that improve the communications, participation and cooperation with the audience. The use of web2.0 techniques (such as wiki's, blogs, Flickr, Facebook and many other tools) has a huge potential for the cultural heritage, art & cultural sector. But what are the smart ways to use these great possibilities? How do you reach a bigger and more diverse audience? And how do you involve these people?

During the symposium 'Kom je ook?' inspiring (inter-)national specialists show you the best practices. You will be inspired to think about web2.0 for your own organisation.

DOEN Pitch

Mediamatic and the DOEN Foundation invite cultural organisations to pitch their own new web2.0 during the symposium. The best three plans will win a DOEN Clinic. This is a one one day workshop, to be held later in the year. In one day you will be guided by experts to develop your ideas into a project concept. Big chance that you will get subsidy for this plan!
