Bernese executive adopts cultural strategy
The Municipal Council of the City of Bern (the executive) has adopted four basic principles for the future cultural strategy. These are the commitment to Bern as a city of culture, to the diversity of cultural players, to culture as a public interest and to partnership and dialog.
In September 2015, work began on the city-wide cultural strategy and a participatory process was launched. The basic principles adopted by the city government create the political and content-related basis for the first Bern Cultural Forum, which will be held on January 18, 2016.
The workshop will present and discuss fields of action that can be derived from the basic principles and define corresponding objectives. The project management, supported by the group of experts and the project group, will use this to develop an action plan that will be presented for discussion at the second cultural forum in early summer 2016.
"Based on a broad concept of culture", writes the city, the municipal council is "committed to Bern as a city of culture, to the diversity of cultural players, to culture as a public interest and to partnership and dialog" with the four basic principles of the future cultural strategy.
