Attempting to tackle the numerous problems which threaten
the very
existence of cultural magazines in both Romania and Eastern Europe,
ECUMEST develops since 2002 a series of projects that aim to provide
support and to contribute to the development of the cultural press.
PROJECTS 2006
European University of Cultural Journalism - ECUMEST was one
of the partners to this project, in whose framework a master class on
Performing
Arts in the Media: Reviews and Critiques took place on 17-23
April 2006 (Château de Joinville, France). The project was organised
by 'Le Grand Jardin' (Joinville) in collaboration with the European
Cultural Foundation (Amsterdam), ECUMEST, Culture Europe International
(Saint-Denis) and the Universities of Bourgogne and Lyon II.
The encounter brought together young cultural journalists and postgraduate
students in journalism from throughout Europe. ECUMEST coordinated the
selection of eight young journalists from Eastern Europe and proposed
the participation of Delia Radu (BBC London) as one of the trainers.
The collaboration to this project represented the result of the
ECUMEST participation to the seminar Culture
in European press. State of the art and prospects of cooperation,
organised by 'Le Grand Jardin' and Culture Europe International in July
2005.
