The Cultural Management Academy (CMA) was organized by the Goethe Institute Thessaloniki and the target group was representatives of independent organizations, as well as municipal and national cultural institutions. During the program, we designed two workshops for cultural professionals:

1. Presentation skills and stress management
   In the first workshop, we explored the factors that can affect a professional’s performance during a presentation. We shared practical tips while also giving participants time to practice their speeches, receiving on-the-spot advice for improvement.

2. Creative leadership and managing teams
   The second workshop supported participants discover their own leadership style by first focusing on their personal and professional vision. We discussed how to set inspiring goals and how to motivate a team so that its members remain dedicated. Additionally, we discussed “dos” and “dont’s” for management during a crisis.
