European conference “Shortcut Europe 2010: Cultural policies and social
exclusion”

Fonds Soziokultur
Dortmund, Germany
03 June 2010 to 05 June 2010

For the second time the Fonds Soziokultur e.V. is organizing an
international event in the series of European conferences named Shortcut
Europe. In 2010 the Ruhr metropolitan area will be the European Capital of
Culture RUHR.2010 and will define the content of the next Shortcut Europe
conference. Cultural centers and cultural operators and politicians from
all over Europe will be invited to debate on theoretical and practical
issues as well as the present situation and perspective of cultural policy
and social inclusion.

According to the upcoming European Year for Combating Poverty and Social
Exclusion 2010, one of the main objectives is social inclusion. The
European Union thus reacts on demerging tendencies in societies. Culture
is of course part of it, and social marginalization often indicates
cultural exclusion. On the other hand the demand for equal participation
in culture is one of the central items in up-to-date discussions in the
field of cultural policies.

How can cultural policy react? How can cultural centers achieve
integration and participation of as many social classes as possible? Are
there new approaches and methods of activating cultural participation in
the context of European socio-culture? Are there examples in cultural
centers of best-practice which are worth to be taken up on an European
level? What is about their operational and financial working conditions? 
Who are the new actors and who the new addresses? What are the practical
perspectives and what do estimations for the future look like? These and
other questions will be tackled during the 3-day-conference in Dortmund
next June.
