Structure of this report
ECDPM Page 3
1. Theme 1 – decentralisation / local authorities and communities
ECDPM Page 4
- Changing environment of asymetries: Financing needs at all stages of creative process for grantees, lacking at local government level.Financing available elsewhere (Gulf countries, Asia, South-South, Foundations, Americas) - where are the resources? How to manage them? “Distance in Euros” -
- Culture in violent contexts – culture in stable settings or transitions not the same approach?
- Linkages beyond artists: between and policy space for national / local authorities, private sector – local creative sector-, communities, audience, educational structures, artists
- Power struggles behind cooperation (Trojan horses and colonial memories)
2. Theme 2 – new opportunities on the EU side?
ECDPM Page 5
1. We don’t always have the same aims – policy and political dialogue with national but also local authorities, and with cultural professionals themselves? (being in line with guidelines of calls for proposals – results from EU preparatory action) – culture in violent environments?
2. Umbrella funding organisations – what linkages with local authorities?
3. Understanding or discussing the EU rules together?: Need for information detailed as much as possible: on financial regulations, on policy processes. Role of EU Delegations in support to local development? Role of new EU website?
4. What about cultural institutes and European Member States?
3. Theme 3 – The HOW (1) ?
ECDPM Page 6
1. Financing: linking the EU level, the “local” level, and mobility for financing (and policy)? How to fund emergency response?
2. Along which common aims? - Peace. - “We are looking for the “individual” in our countries” , - Economic, human development / long-term impact, - Expand public space- How to better jointly define EU calls for proposals? (new
procedures).
3. Theme 3 – The HOW (2) ?
ECDPM Page 7
3. Adjust the pledge for changing definitions of mobility • internet doesn’t replace mobility – fake mobility? - back to
Earth/Gaia (Latour)• diaspora and displacement• re-territorialisation, • beyond artistic, professional mobility• moves within a country you need to know, • community/audience, • crossing borders, • residencies, • intercultural dialogue & learning, • clarifying aims, • co-building projects
3. Theme 3 – The HOW (3) ?
ECDPM Page 8
4. “Our own research” / co-research• Mappings• “Doing our own research” (anthropological > esthetical)• Knowing the audiences • differences – reaching out to the other – translation.
5. In stability, supporting structures - Wifi / IMA / spaces - Write the case / branding & marketing of a territory- Support public services
4. What do you want to take away from today?
ECDPM Page 9
Feedback from the participants: The EU does work with local authorities especially through the cross-border programme.
You missed the role of informal structures
We need plan for action beyond understanding each other.
Are we redistributing cultural power?
