Canton of Neuchâtel revises cultural promotion
The Neuchâtel State Council has adopted a draft law on the promotion of cultural and artistic activities (FKG).
With this draft law, cantonal cultural policy should better coordinate public and private actors, take greater account of ecological, economic and social sustainability and facilitate access to culture in such a way that as many people as possible, regardless of age, nationality, gender, social background or disability, have the opportunity to take advantage of the canton's offerings.
The new law also provides for an increase in the budget for subsidies. It is to be increased by CHF 1.2 million over three years. There are also plans to create an additional half-time position to support the implementation of the new law.
