Thematic focus: Connecting Culture, Communities and Democracy

http://www.culturalfoundation.eu/thematic-focus

We bridge people and democratic institutions by connecting local cultural change-makers and communities across Europe because we firmly believe that Europe can be powered by culture. Under our thematic focus, Connecting Culture, Communities and Democracy which will run through our work until 2016, we are developing the Networked Programme.

We are pleased to announce the first six partner organisations joining the Networked Programme:

• Culture 2 Commons (Alliance Operation City, Clubture Network, Right to the City), Croatia
• Les Têtes de l’Art, France
• Oberliht, Moldova
• Platoniq, Spain
• Political Critique (Krytyka Polityczna), Poland
• Subtopia, Sweden
They have been scouted through a targeted call for applications and their first kick-off meeting took place in Antwerp, Belgium on 16-19 March 2014.

The themes that drive our partnership are Commons, Public Space, Culture and Economy.

ECF is initiator and facilitator in scaling our partners’ work up to a wider European level. Our advisors to the Networked Programme are Chrissie Faniadis, Juan Freire, Stojan Pelko, and Rana Zincir Celal.
