Progress Europe
Culture and cultural policy are of strategic significance in the process of European unification. The question is, what use is made of them? What is the state of cultural relations within Europe? How can European cultural policies contribute to the forming of a European identity? The culture report “Progress Europe” attempts to find answers to these questions. Among the authors are cultural policy makers, journalists, education experts, theatre and film-makers, festival organisers and scientists from all over the world.
