Bigger ... better ... beautiful? [Recurs electrònic] : Conference on the impact of EU enlargement on cultural opportunities across Europe : Budapest, 14-17 February, 2002
Publication details: Budapest : Regional Observatory on Financing Culture in East-Central Europe, 2002Description: 20 pOnline resources: Summary: The aims of this conference were twofold – to develop further links, both theoretical and practical, between the cultural sectors of the European Union and the accession countries and to discuss the impact of enlargement on the wider Europe. The conference brought together over 150 participants from 29 countries who explored issues ranging from the prospects of expanding the cultural links and interaction amongst the proposed 25 (or even more) member s of the enlarged EU to the need to support and sustain cultural diversity through fostering identity at national, regional and local level, and the impact of the enlargement on European cultural integrity, as well as on global issues. In addition, the conference explored the development of partnerships, exchanges and other links, using examples of good practice and case studies. The conference did not ignore the challenges that enlargement is likely to highlight and which will need to be addressed and overcome: ranging from national and European bureaucracy to the differences in traditions, cultures, languages – both within the enlarged European Union and in respect of those European countries which are not currently applying for EU membership. For the existing members of the EU, there were sessions which address the changes likely as a result of the eventual reduction of the current levels of Structural Funds, which have provided consider able support for the cultural sector over the past decade. For the accession countries, there were opportunities to learn from the experiences of the Member States in benefiting from the support available from these Funds. The conference generated ideas and suggestions for future developments, and these are included at the end of this report. In addition, the success of the conference has stimulated a demand for future events that further progress this debate and also provide a wider platform for opportunities to meet, exchange and learn. These will be a further demonstration that each country’s pride in its cultural identity and achievements are no barrier to exchange and partnership, and to an enlarged European Union that will indeed be bigger, but also better and more beautiful… (Font: Resum)| Item type | Current library | Collection | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
