Significant APE and Dialogic will be examining the part of cultural participation in the cultural policy for the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) (article 14 of the OCW budget).
The aim of the cultural policy is to promote a strong, diverse, accessible, and high-quality cultural sector, as well as to safeguard heritage. An important aspect of the cultural policy is to promote broad cultural participation ('culture is for everyone'). We will investigate which target groups are reached by the cultural policy, which are not, and how this relates to the chosen policy instruments.
The review will look back over the past 20 years and will show whether the cultural policy has achieved the desired societal effects. This will assist the Dutch House of Representatives in fulfilling its framing and control role as the parliamentary body and will provide the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science with insights into the lessons that can be learned for shaping and implementing future policies.
