Learning from others. Cross-national perspectives
14.12.2021, 16.30–17.45 CET (in English)
Digitality, diversity and sustainability – make a reality check necessary in cultural education as well: Where does the field stand today? What impact did the Corona pandemic have? What is important for the future design of the field of practice? How must cultural education position itself in order to do justice to its own claim to enable as many people as possible to participate, both now and in the future? How can cultural education become a joint task for practice, politics and science? The web talk series deals with these and other questions. In our last web talk session we would be particularly interested to know what approaches are being taken in other European countries, what best-practice examples have been implemented that stand for successful outreach work, and what priorities are being set here.

Before assuming this position, she was Director of Schools for Creative Partnerships in England. Di has worked in the arts for over 20 years including working at Arts Council England as National Director of Grants for the Arts. She took on the daunting task, when the Regional Arts Boards were merged into the Arts Council of England, of streamlining the grants system, turning over 100 funding programmes across the country into just four for the national organisation. Before that, Di worked for Northern Arts (the regional arts board for Northern England) specialising in capital development projects and lottery funds.
