The celebration of the 10th anniversary of the authoritative Council of Europe/ERICarts Compendium information and monitoring system is hosted by the Azerbaijan Ministry of Culture and Tourism; the programme can be downloaded here. In addition to the "community of practice" of independent national authors from 41 European countries, which form the backbone of the Compendium, other cultural policy researchers from Europe and neighbouring regions, NGOs and representatives of national governments are cordially invited to the event - please contact the ERICarts Secretariat for details. New features were added to the Compendium during the last relaunch; the system is not only constantly gaining new users, but has recently also gained three new information partners: IFACCA, CP Connect and the LabforCulture!
The new study of the ERICarts Institute for the EU-Commission focuses on programmes and schemes supporting or influencing the mobility of cultural professionals in Europe. The project began in April 2008, the final report was submitted in October 2008. The study was coordinated by Andreas Wiesand and Danielle Cliche with the assistance of Olivier Goebel; it is based mainly on existing resources, on information gained from national correspondents in the 35 participating countries, and on the contributions of six key experts: Suzanne Capiau, Rod Fisher, Ilkka Heiskanen, Dorota Ilczuk, Ritva Mitchell and Dimitrije Vujadinovic. The study and additional material can be found on the website www.mobility-matters.eu - the Executive Summary in English, French and German can also be downloaded here.
"Sharing Diversity", the report of the ERICarts study on National Approaches to Intercultural Dialogue in Europe has now been released.
