"Culture as a public service: the challenge of modern cultural policies"

We are pleased to invite you to the conference "Culture as a public service: the challenge of modern cultural policies", which will take place on October 4, 2022, at the French Institute in Timișoara, an event co-organized by UVT and Insula 42, in partnership with the French Institute in Timișoara. The conference will open the first edition of "Timișoara Ideas Fest", a far-reaching project, dedicated to ideas and people who inspire communities.

The conference "Culture as a public service: the challenge of modern cultural policies" is organized in the context where cultural practices have evolved in Europe at a very fast pace, much faster than the administrative field dedicated to this field of activity. Some of these practices have internationalized or become inter- and trans-disciplinary. By contrast, cultural administrations have not evolved to the extent of the dynamic of the creative and intellectual effervescence of the communities of artists and producers of cultural contents and, as a result, they offer them a framework that is still lacking (legislative, bureaucratic, organizational and even linguistic), insufficient modernized and adapted.

We propose, therefore, the launch of the idea of ​​a think tank that includes intellectuals, researchers, teachers, operators and cultural entrepreneurs and creators, whose objective is to build a critical space for informed discussion on the development and implementation of cultural policies in Romania. Such a group can, in time, constitute the core of the creation of a regional Observatory of cultural policies, whose expertise can significantly contribute to the outline of cultural policy measures initiated in Romania or can suggest what type of measures should be taken. The conference "Culture as a public service: the challenge of modern cultural policies" is a necessary first step in achieving this goal.

We are waiting for you!

The conference will take place at: the French Institute in Timișoara, Bd. Constantin Diaconovici Loga no. 46
