Human resources play a key role in the management of complex events such as the ECoC. For this reason, we worked out a capacity building programme that allows to undertake innovative initiatives and at the same time to provide the existing cultural facilities with a pool of collaborators for future actions.
The Build-up is a systemic capacity-building programme (skills enhancement) for local socio-cultural operators. The characterizing topics of the programme are: guidance to collaboration, overcoming state assistance dependency, setting up international networking, researching new models of sustainability and entrepreneurship, sensitiveness to social issues.
BUILD-UP ADDRESSED TO MAKERS AND LINKERS
Who are the Makers and Linkers?
They are 40 professionals (50% of them juniors) selected through a public call targeting, in particular, young people under 30, with the aim of investing in their growth and creating a nursery of experts who will be able to use the acquired skills in Matera and in the South also after 2019.
More than 50% of Makers and Linkers come from the regions included in the EU Convergence Objective, namely Puglia, Calabria, Campania and Sicily. These resources have consolidated international management skills along with a strong bond with Basilicata and the South of Italy which will make them sensitive to the local context.
The Build-up process addressed to Makers and Linkers allowed them to acquire a common language linked to the philosophy of Matera 2019 and to the development and implementation of relevant projects.
