Package of measures for culture in the city of Berne
Bern's municipal council has approved the new package of measures for the 2023 - 2024 city-wide cultural strategy. It focuses on the areas of cultural participation and social sustainability.
The municipal council, the city's executive body, wants to further increase access to culture in all areas. With the first package of measures of the city-wide cultural strategy, fundamental prerequisites were created, which are sharpened and further developed in the present package of measures. Bern's culture should be "socially, economically and ecologically sustainable". During the pandemic, it has become abundantly clear that the social security of cultural workers must be improved, writes the Council.
The City of Bern's cultural strategy is designed to run for twelve years and shows how the city's cultural policy and cultural promotion will be shaped until 2028. Cultural production as the focal point of the city's cultural life is placed in a broader political and social context.
Part of the strategy is the newly conceived music ensemble sponsorship. Kultur Stadt Bern and the Office for Culture of the Canton of Berne jointly announce these, appoint a jury and decide on the award.
