What do we want to achieve?
Culture Policy Room is a think tank dedicated to advancing the practice of cultural policy-making by bridging the gap between research and policy. With a focus on Europe and with a global perspective, we offer insights and knowledge to policy-makers, advocates, and practitioners.
At Culture Policy Room, we advocate for evidence-based and informed cultural policies. We work to create a space for critical debate and empower cultural policies and practices to contribute to better decision-making and societies.
More concretely, we aim to:
Make the society at large understand that culture matters as a full-fledged player in addressing challenges, and imagining solutions and pathways for all of us to thrive.
Solidify the status of cultural workers in society and their role in decision-making and public discourse.
Professionalise cultural advocacy and foster informed debate on the role and future of the cultural sector.
Ensure that cultural policy-makers and professionals grasp the value of research and evidence-based policy and strategically invest in it.
Bring a global perspective and good practices to the forefront of decision-making, fostering collaborative and innovative solutions.
