THE NATIONAL CULTURE FORUM “CULTURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP”

Culture connects the past, future and present, fosters communities, attracts talent, builds a local image, heals stigmas, connects different disciplines and stimulates businesses. If there is culture, it is a good place to live. These and similar thoughts were said at the 9th 🟣🟩 National Cultural Forum “Cultural Entrepreneurship” which this year was dedicated to cultural entrepreneurship 💸🎼 and the country’s regions 🗺️.
