Meeting of the Steering Committee for ‘The Community of Knowledge on Arts and Cultural Education in

Already during the last meeting of the civil servants’ network on cultural education in Europe in Vienna in June 2007, the participants expressed their support to establish a European Portal on Arts and Cultural Education. This initiative started as a new co-operation between Cultuurnetwerk Nederland and EDUCULT to implement an internet information platform on this issue in Europe. On 25 October 2007 a first meeting of a Steering Committee for such an initiative, now under the title “The Community of Knowledge on Arts and Cultural Education in Europe” met in Brussels/Belgium to discuss the outlines of a long term plan. In order to link all kind of information, the planned EU-Portal will include not only the current glossary project and the country reviews on the political and administrative frameworks but will also provide information about policy and programmes, examples of transferable practices, contact information and addresses, lists of conferences and meetings, links, theories and relevant policy themes of EU-member states (e.g. social cohesion, community arts or citizenship).
