On 16th October, as part of the Culture Action Europe network, FECE tuned in to the State of Culture Report Online Launch.
The State of Culture is the result of a non-academic policy research initiative that delves into how culture’s role and value are defined in national and European cultural policies. It also gathers input from key stakeholders in the cultural and creative sectors regarding the main challenges and opportunities they encounter in today’s world.
The lifestream was opened with an introduction from Lars Ebert, Secretary General CAE, followed by a thorough presentation of the report highlights by Elena Polivtseva, a researcher based in Brussels. The report is now available online on the Culture Action Europe website.
The report offers insights into how the cultural sector can adapt to today’s changing social and political landscape. It highlights the role of arts in society, explores its potential to foster resilience and transformation, and provides fresh ideas for advocacy and policy, renewing cultural discourse and highlighting key messages for both the sector and the decision-makers.
Culture Action Europe is the major European network, of cultural networks, organisations, artists, activists, academics and policymakers.
