Sažetak
This report presents the summaries of 27 case studies of inclusive cultural policies and practices, carried out in nine European countries (Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom) within the project “European Inventory of Societal Values of Culture as a Basis for Inclusive Cultural Policies in the Globalizing World” (INVENT). The objectives of the project are related to the goals set in the New EU Agenda for Culture (2018), proposing a much needed “social turn” in how culture is perceived and approached. Since cultural policies are one of the key instruments to bring about the mentioned “social turn”, the project aims to provide insights that contribute to the changing of the state-of-the-art of cultural policymaking and research. The case studies were carried out relying on methods as diverse as field observations and qualitative interviewing, content analysis of print and online materials, digital ethnography, document analysis and evaluation, archival analysis, and theoretical analysis. They contribute to our analysis of existing models and instruments of cultural policies at the EU, national, regional and local levels. The case studies carried out within the INVENT project and presented in this report include research on: actors (primary the collective ones, such as institutions from the public or civil society sector), cultural projects, cultural events, locations and places. They present the results of descriptive research contributing to a wider understanding of the case. However, they also address the aspects of the analysed cases going beyond the obvious. The main learning points resulting from the presented panorama of studies, could be summarised as follows: (1) Inclusive and participatory cultural policies are very much needed as a response to the current centrifugal tendencies in contemporary societies, in that they help the citizens cope with current cultural and societal transformations, stimulate active citizenship, and contribute to creating a sense of identity, belonging and memory. (2) Citizens’ bottom-up initiatives have led to important cultural policy formulations, but their effect remains limited in the long term if they are not supported by different institutional actors. This is especially true in the case of marginalized groups. (3) One size does not fit all: one model of cultural policy cannot be applied as a problem-solving tool to different sets of issues in different contexts. Careful research of the needs of a given context is needed before a strategy conducive to the realisation of the desired societal objectives can be formulated. (4) Educational contexts are very important, both formal ones (such as schools and libraries) and those perceived as less formal by the citizens (such as community arts centres or other, more innovative, types of “social hubs”). (5) One-off cultural policy mechanisms do not achieve results: the policies should aim at longterm, sustainable solutions. (6) European Capital of Culture programme has led to important post-candidacy policy discussions and legacy projects. (7) Great care should be taken to respect diversity when trying to create social cohesion.
