skills2GO! Building Competences for Cultural Professionals

The publication skills2GO! Building Competences for Cultural Professionals identifies who it addresses—cultural professionals, administrators, and project managers engaged in shaping the European Capital of Culture 2025 in Nova Gorica–Gorizia—and what it offers: a collection of insights and practical tools to strengthen their competences. Produced within the project skills2GO! Empowering Nova Gorica–Gorizia for ECoC 2025, promoted with GECT GO and GO! 2025, the volume reflects where this learning journey took place—across the Italian–Slovenian border, in a truly “borderless” spirit of cooperation. It captures when this exchange unfolded, as part of the broader preparation for ECoC 2025, and why it is significant: to foster peer learning, innovation, and cross-border dialogue in cultural management. Featuring contributions from leading experts, the English-language publication serves as a resource for those navigating complex cultural projects across Europe.
