Workshop CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT Rural Areas

Rural areas and their cultural potential are experiencing an upswing, which is linked to the increasing

participation of citizens and cultural actors. The shaping of cultural life in rural regions and the structural

change that goes hand in hand with it leads to an enormous upgrading of locations away from the

metropolises. The "Lausitz Cultural Plan", which is being put out to tender throughout Europe by the State of

Brandenburg, is intended to create a strategic foundation and long-term strategy for the cultural region of

Lausitz with the help of competent cooperation. In the workshop, tools will be worked out how organizational

structures and concrete, forward-looking concepts for the rural cultural region of the future can succeed in

cooperation with partners from cultural management and creative industries.
