17:00 – 18:00 – discussion.
Kharkiv is an special city where the IT sector is actively developing, but young people do not have the experience of using the knowledge acquired to create their own projects in the field of culture and education.
The forum is an experimental platform to show how similar sectors can interact with each other.
In the existing cultural sector there are problems with insufficient level of management and knowledge of technologies, which does not allow to communicate correctly with the expert community, having inquiries and budgets for the creation of projects.
Young people are focused on fulfilling the commercial tasks of foreign customers, but few are determined to launch their own project or research on VR / AR / 360 technologies.
The forum is a space for discussion, as the social and cultural environment of the city can change by a civilian way, rather than institutional-state.
We invite you to learn more about the project under the supervision of Ekaterina Ray and the technical support of Lenovo, the penetrating project “Woungs 360” with the support of Hromadske UA, the AftermathVR: Euromaidan from NewCaveMedia and the introduction of virtual reality as new horizons of culture from OCHI.
The forum is supported by the Ukrainian Cultural Fund.
The Ukrainian Cultural Fund is a state institution established in 2017 on the basis of the relevant Law of Ukraine in order to promote the development of national culture and art in the country, providing favorable conditions for the development of the intellectual and spiritual potential of the individual and society, wide access of citizens to the national cultural heritage, supporting cultural diversity and integrating Ukrainian culture into the world cultural space.
