The future will see a Europe of exchanges which will encourage reciprocal contributions, cooperation and artistic and cultural mobility.
The Observatoire des politiques culturelles in Grenoble, France will organise a meeting, in collaboration with ENCATC, les Halles de Schaerbeck, Relais Culture Europe and the Rhône-Alps Region, on 'European Cultural Networks: Partners for Culture Professionals?', in Brussels, Belgium, on 2 October 2009.
The conference will be organised around the following themes
* Artistic and cultural mobility in Europe
* Cultural action in the European Union
* Intercultural dialogue
* International cultural exchanges
* European cultural and artistic spaces
* The social status of the artist in Europe
* The representativity of networks and how they work
The future will see a Europe of exchanges which will encourage reciprocal contributions, cooperation and artistic and cultural mobility. Nowadays the eclectic interests of the actors in this field question the capacity of representation of the European networks.
Will these networks, which link up professionals or local authorities, be able to create a strategic vision which will go beyond the withdrawal of the States and present the institutions with a community dimension which will enrich intercultural dialogue and help construct a future European cultural policy? In addition to that, in what way do they constitute a relevant intermediary for local culture professionals?
And is the European Commission for its part capable of going beyond the intentions set out in the culture Agenda adopted in 2007, in order to give Europe the cultural ambition which this project lacks?
