Visions for the cultural life of the city of Biel/Bienne
The Biel/Bienne Directorate of Education, Culture and Sport has launched a debate under the motto "Let's talk about culture!". After an opening event, in-depth public discussions took place.
As part of the "Parlons culture !" debate, five working groups have examined various issues in greater depth. They proposed measures to improve the promotion of culture and the conditions for cultural activities for the attention of the Directorate of Education, Culture and Sport.
The working groups want Biel to position itself as a national cultural center. The cultural spaces and cultural players should be upgraded. Creativity, particularly in the field of contemporary art, should be promoted in collaboration with partners.
Among many other things, it is also noted that Biel lacks a practical, modular hall with a capacity of around 1500 people and that the representation functions towards the outside (politics and population) and towards the inside (cultural scene) must be strengthened. The necessary resources should be provided for this.
The comprehensive results from the working groups can be found on www.biel-bienne.ch
