Building capacity in the cultural sector
Lunch and Learns support member growth
S askCulture’s support of a culturally vibrant province is not just about providing funding or supporting event organizers; it’s also about equipping cultural leaders with the knowledge and tools they need to thrive. One of the ways it is helping build capacity is through its ongoing Lunch and Learns. In 2024, over 400 members of the cultural community accessed learning opportunities through SaskCulture’s Lunch and Learn webinars, building on the initial success of its webinars in 2023. The sessions reached around 70 registrations each, with the most popular sessions engaging over 100 people at a time. Nichole Williams, executive assistant, SaskCulture, who also coordinates the webinars, says the interest in the webinars has grown significantly with more cultural leaders tuning in for quick introductions to emerging topics and actionable ideas to take back to their teams. She notes that the online format of the sessions has received positive feedback, as it offers participants greater flexibility and easier access to the learning opportunities.
