Lucerne cultural sponsor resigns
After eight years as the Canton of Luizern's Cultural Affairs Officer, Stefan Sägesser will step down in March 2023. His position will be advertised as part of the restructuring of the Higher Education and Culture Department.
Sägesser has been head of cultural promotion in the canton of Lucerne since May 2015. According to the canton's press release, he has been particularly responsible for the development and establishment of regional cultural promotion over the past eight years, in cooperation with partner organizations in the cultural sector.
The introduction and further development of selective production and work funding also fell within his term of office. Sägesser also focused on strengthening cooperation in Central Switzerland in the fields of theater, dance, music and film, as well as promoting the corresponding networking and mediation centers. In addition to numerous projects, his activities over the last three years or so have focused heavily on measures such as compensation for lost working hours in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
From next spring, Stefan Sägesser will be taking a short break to devote himself to new projects and reorient himself professionally. His position will be advertised as part of the restructuring of the former Higher Education and Culture Office DHK into a separate Culture Office.
