Abstract: Why is culture not a more central part of public policy in Europe? Is there a future for European culture? What role can it play in the process of sustainable development as we enter the twenty-first century? These are some of the questions addressed in this report, whose main concern is to raise awareness of two interlocking priorities for governments today – to bring the millions of dispossessed and disadvantaged Europeans in from the margins of society and to bring cultural policy in from the margins of governance. Brinding the global gap, mobilising human resources through culture, living and working in the communication society: In from the margins examines the and other issues as part of a new policy agenda for a continent in transition , offering ideas and recommendations, as well as case studies, statistics and indicators. In from the margins was produced by an independent group of policy makers, researchers and cultural managers for the Council of Europe, as a contribution to the debate initiated by World Commission on Culture and Development (UN/Unesco). Its findings will be of interest and value to European stages, policy makers and public authorities, and to all those involved in culture and development in Europe. (Font: Editor)
