Instagramers Academy: promoting the conscious use of Instagram

In 2020, in Bolzano, in a historical moment full of uncertainty, the “Instagramers Academy” cycle of events organised by Instagramers Italia in collaboration with the local Instagramers Alto Adige Südtirol took place for the first time. The community, which has been dealing for years with the enhancement of the cultural and touristic heritage of our country, with more than 70 communities active in Italy, has thus launched a process to promote the conscious use of Instagram and mobile photography.

The Academies are free events, aimed at all those interested in understanding and consciously taking advantage of the potential of Instagram.

The events organised in Bolzano in 2020 were made possible thanks to the precious collaboration with DRIN, the new co-working space of the Province of Bolzano designed for young creatives who intend to network, establish collaborations and undertake business development paths in the context of cultural and creative production.
