Belgien: Konferencen 'Culture and the Policies of Change'

En international konference med fokus på temaet 'Rethinking Cultural Policy: Implementing a New Paradigm'. Holdes i Bruxelles, Belgien, den 6.-7. september 2010.



There has been limited debate on the practical implications for national and local cultural policy-makers and practitioners of the shifts that have been occurring and which may increase in relation to public policy for culture. In some countries, cultural strategies and priorities are under review, in others, there is a need to re-think current methods and practices, taking into account global cultural market forces and shifts in public interests and values, while in other countries, there is talk of significant cuts to cultural budgets and institutions in 2011 and beyond.

 

The cause of the concern is not only financial, but also a result of a re-orientation of public interests and priorities, with an increased pre-occupation about the role of culture in promoting social integration, and also a perceived shift in cultural values partly related to the growing impact of environmental and other concerns.

 

The conference 'Culture and the Policies of Change' will seek to explore not only the direct impact of the financial crisis on the cultural sector in terms of threats and losses, but also to question the state’s role as a substantial provider of culture. This theme touches on related issues such as the need to re-define certain current cultural practices, the changing roles of cultural institutions, and the potential of alternative governance models, new forms of partnerships and multi-stakeholder approaches to help meet the ensuing challenges.

 

Related topics include possible new responsibility paradigms for culture and new frameworks for public policy in the cultural domain.

 

Given the importance of this issue in Europe, it seems appropriate to approach the subject both from a wide intellectual angle and very practically in terms of measures and proposals that might be considered.

 

The Conference is aimed at senior policy-makers and practitioners who operate at national, regional and local levels, and who are responsible for the content, management or implementation of cultural policies.
