International conference: "Cultural Policies in Europe: A Participatory Turn?"

Be SpectACTive! An European network for active spectatorship

• Is "participation" everywhere in cultural policies?
• What forms does it take, geographically, sectorally, politically?
• How do cultural policies, at different levels of action, address this concept?
• What kind of participation are we talking about? Participation in creation, programming, decision-making?
• Who participates in what, how, and why?
• What are the instruments and paradigms of participation?
• How does participation contribute to debates on democratization and cultural democracy?
• What do cultural operators expect from a cultural policy aimed at developing participation?

Round tables, presentations, and workshops will bring together cultural operators, researchers, and public decision-makers from more than 15 European countries to provide answers to these challenges and questions.

This conference is organized as part of the Be SpectACTive! network (a project supported by the European Union's Creative Europe program), with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Occitanie en Scène, the Occitanie Region, the University of Montpellier, and the CNRS.
