Suisseculture welcomes cultural message
Suisseculture, the umbrella organization of professional cultural workers, is pleased and sceptical about the Confederation's new cultural message, including the measures in the area of music education.
In an official press release, Sussculture writes that the Federal Council has made it clear that it intends to maintain the current level of funding during the funding period. The association sees this as a binding promise and hopes that parliament will follow this proposal.
Although Suisseculture considers the cultural expenditure of CHF 222.6 million from 2021 to be sufficient, it also notes that this de facto continuation of the status quo does not allow for any major development steps. This also applies in particular to the welcome measures in the area of music education: Here, an area of education is being supported with cultural funds. Should parliament tighten the budget framework, the association expects the Confederation to examine how other budgets can support these measures.
