DISCUSSION PANELS

12:00 | “The influence of culture on local development”

Conducted by: Łukasz Medeksza [Polish Town Planning Association]

Topics:

  • The notion of development brings to mind hard investments and gross domestic product growth. Culture is seen as a sphere, which requires subsidies. Thus it can be in a way taken as a growth restraint. What are your experiences in this matter? Does culture always need to be subsidied? Are your local governments favourable towards it?;
  • How do your actions influence the development of Your cities? Can it be measured?;
  • Can the residents be engaged in the cultural life somehow? (not as, so-called, culture consumers); what are Your experiences in this matter?;
  • Are culture institutions, alternatively, festivals spaces for citizenship activities, not only artistic ones? Can they be such places?;
  • Does the Internet favour or harm culture institutions?;

Participants: Joost Heijthuijsen [Incubate Festival, NL], Joy Arpots [Eindhoven 2018 European Capital of Culture, NL], Krzysztof Rakowski [Castle Party Festival, PL], Jarosław Wroński [Mayor of the city of Bolków, PL], Andrzej Hordyj [ vice-mayor of the City of Bielawa, PL].
