Tips & Tools for Community Organizers
Many activity organizers form a working group to plan and promote their Culture Days activities together, whether they will take place in one building, a public space, on a block, throughout a neighbourhood, or across an entire community—it’s a great way to reach new people!
Others, such as Municipal cultural departments, local arts councils, Business Improvement Associations and Tourism bureaus contribute to making Culture Days in their communities a grand occasion for the arts and cultural community and public.
The tools and resources found in this section will help you make the most of your collective participation.
