For the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, Significant APE and Dialogic will review the aspect of cultural participation within cultural policy (article 14 of the education, culture and science budget).
The aim of cultural policy is to promote a strong, diverse, accessible, and high-quality cultural sector and to safeguard heritage. An important component of cultural policy is promoting broad cultural participation ('culture is for everyone'). We will investigate which target groups are reached by cultural policy, which are not, and what the relationship is with the chosen policy instruments.
The review will look back over the past 20 years and will show whether cultural policy has delivered the desired societal effects. This helps the House of Representatives to fulfil its framing and supervisory role as the representative body and provides the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science with insights into the lessons to be learned for shaping and implementing future policies.
