Summary: The development of civil society and a healthy so-called "third sector" are indispensable to the evolution and safeguard of democratic values in Europe today. What role have the arts and culture to play in this process?. This policy note examines the interplay between cultural activity and the life of civil society illustrated through examples of interesting practice taking place in European countries today. By showing ways in which the arts and culture can fulfil broader societal objectives, the authors demonstrate that the mutual strengthening of cultural processes and civil cohesion should be increasingly recognised in policy shaping.
