Culturemondo meets PICNIC '10 - the annual three-day festival that blurs the lines between
creativity, science, technology and business
"The world
around us is changing fast, and not all the changes are positive. We're facing
the biggest natural, social and economic challenges our world has ever
seen. We've addressed some of these issues in the past, but the days of
just talking are over. It's time to take action." Picnic

As part of
PICNIC '10 in Amsterdam this September, Culturemondo are running a series
of three unique workshops that pick up on
the key theme of the festival - 'Redesign the World' and consider it from the
perspective of the cultural heritage and arts sector.
Come and join the Culturemondo folk who are all developing,
building and running online cultural services around the world
and help us explore some of the issues that we feel are changing the
way we engage our online audiences and develop digital services for
them:

Beyond Tourism: Future Directions for Mobile Cultural Content (Thursday 23rd)
