Hatathon is a wordplay. This is an online creative and technical marathon, where participants work from home. This is a six-day brainstorm from an idea to its implementation. You learn new tools, come up with and implement a project, find a team of like-minded people, receive expert advice and get your ideas evaluated, and pitch your results in the final.

We invite to participate: artists, directors, musicians, curators, and managers of cultural programs, figures of the cultural and creative sectors, entrepreneurs of creative industries, IT specialists, marketers, and everyone who wants to contribute with their creativity or technical expertise.
