What culture does the Basel population want
Over the next few days, 5000 people will receive a questionnaire on the cultural offerings in Basel. The level of awareness of cultural institutions, museums, clubs and festivals will also be surveyed.
The survey is being conducted for the first time. The 5,000 people contacted by post can complete the questionnaire online. Participation is voluntary. The evaluation is anonymous. It is not possible to draw conclusions about the individual person. The sample is selected randomly from the population register. The survey is conducted by Interface Politikstudien on behalf of the Basel-Stadt Department of Culture. 10 museum passes will be raffled off among the participants in the survey.
The population's assessment will be incorporated into the development of the new cultural mission statement. With the cantonal cultural mission statement, the cantonal government sets out the cultural policy guidelines for the years 2026 to 2031. Another basis is a comprehensive impact analysis that retrospectively examines the implementation of the cultural mission statement from 2020 to 2025. The results will be published as part of Basel-Stadt's new cultural mission statement.
