NOVÁ SÍŤ OPENS OFFICE IN BRNO

The coordination of the Czech cultural network Nová síť is moving to Brno. The new office will not only offer consultancy services, but will also organise seminars and workshops for cultural professionals.

Service organisation for culture expands its activities and opens an office in Brno. From September 2024 it will be located at Radnická 369/10, 602 00 Brno-střed in the building of the Institute of the Memory of the Nation Brno. From there, it will provide consultancy services to cultural professionals focused on theatre and dance.

The main agenda of the Brno branch will be the coordination of the Network itself, a network of cultural organisations and individuals involved in live culture in the regions of the Czech Republic, which the organisation has been building since 2004 and which includes more than 40 organisations. In addition, the branch will offer consultations by appointment every Wednesday. Interested individuals can already contact konzultace@novasit.cz.

"We are very much looking forward to future cooperation with both Brno and non-Brno individuals and institutions," says Eliška Burdová, the network coordinator who will be in charge of the Brno office. In the future, Nová síť plans to organise seminars and workshops to strengthen the skills of cultural professionals.

Nová síť has been working as a service organisation for cultural actors from all over the Czech Republic for more than twenty years. "We are very pleased to open a branch in Brno, which continues the trend of decentralisation and strengthening cooperation between the different regions of the Czech Republic. Thanks to the new branch, we will be much closer to institutions from Moravia and Slezsko," says Adriana Světlíková, the organisation's director.
