Baltic ArtistS in Development: Malmö Sessions

It was a true pleasure to host the first gathering of the Baltic Artists in Development 6-8 November in Malmö. We started the sessions Wednesday night at Norra Grängesbergsgatan with welcoming our guests with a Syrian buffet and by taking part of project presentations by the participants.

Thursday and Friday were dedicated to workshop sessions at REHAB with Henrik and Jannica from Emerging. The main purpose of the workshop was to provide the participants with the opportunity and tools to create visions and plans for how to tackle their management challenges through out the project.

Henrik and Jannica are originally trained through the Danish innovative school Kaospilot and have years of experience in innovative development.

Adding on to this packed programme, a dialogue seminar was held Thursday night with composer Nathan Larsson, founder of Subchamber Ensamble, and label manager and digital distributer Kalle Magnusson from Aloaded.

The gathering was concluded Friday night with goodbye dinner followed by jazz concert at Grand Öl & Mat! A big thanks to all participants!

Toolbox

HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE WORKSHOP:
The main purpose of the workshop is to provide you with the opportunity and tools to create visions and plans for how to tackle your management challenges. 

You will be working individually and as well in groups. Come rested and full of energy ready to dive deeper in to your own capacity. 

We ask you to prepare two things:

1. Purchase a notebook. 
During the planning workshop, your primary working tool will be your personal notebook and a pen.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you have a notebook preferable in size of A4 or even A3 and a set of pens.

2. Start to think about your management challenges
Spend 20 minutes to reflect and write down challenges you are facing in relation to management. 

Take a moment and consider the following questions: 

  • Why I am attending the program?

  • What kind of artistic development do I want to create?

  • Where am I stuck in my management?

  • What do I need clarity about?

  • What is the challenge that would make the biggest difference for me if solved?

Here’s the slides from the workshop!
