LabforCulture

LabforCulture has gone Italian! Two years after launching LabforCulture we are now adding a Italian language version to the site. This will make the site more accessible to a wider part of the Italian community and expands the site to 6 languages.

To celebrate the Italian launch, we will be launching the site at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin kindly hosted by Compagnia di San Paolo, coinciding with T2 Turin Triennial, showcasing over 50 international young artists and Artissimia, the international fair of contemporary art in Turin, today.

So have a look at the new Italian version of the site and send us a comment on the LabforCulture blog. Got any Italian friends, well let them know!

Following the online consultation earlier this year, organised by Culture Action Europe (EFAH) and the European Cultural Foundation, and facilitated by LabforCulture, the results are now out on what you had to say about how Europe should tackle diversity.

The main recommendations that came from hundreds of views from varying sectors centre on: educating and building institutional capacity for Intercultural Dialogue, monitoring for sustained policies, mobilising across boundaries and the resourcing of Intercultural Dialogue.

Now you can endorse the results of the process by visiting http://rainbowplatform.labforculture.org and sign up to the recommendations. By giving the Rainbow Platform your support, you will increase the impact of the recommendations and you or your organisation will become eligible for formal membership of the Platform.

LabforCulture has designed an easy endorsement process so give it a go!

We have been working away to create a new and improved platform and here it is! The new design improves the display of edited information on the site, making it easier for you navigate through the thousands of resources on the site in 5 languages.

The community section also is easier to use, improving how to upload information about yourself, your event or a subject you want to blog about. The editors of the site will regularly be updating their sections of the site, and bringing you what’s hot and what’s not in the cultural scene across Europe.

So use the site, and let us know what you think: hopefully you are as happy as we are!

We recommend you to have a look at our refreshed funding section - 14 new references might help you expand the horizons of your cultural or artistic project.
In many cases a good contact, a non-conventional idea, an inspiring partnership could be more valuable than cash. In the Alternative financing section of LabforCulture website, we stress on the non-monetary support, looking at asset transfer and “in-kind” help, from the Finance Hub and other resources. A model organization, investing on arts to promote social awareness, is Mamacash foundation - contributing to improve women rights worldwide and supporting taboo-breaking art projects. In our popular Tips section you can consult the Festival Toolkit, a practical guide from Arts Derbyshire. As for the international culture and training programmes: Fundaçao Oriente and the Japan Foundation make bridges of understanding between cultures by exchange and learning. An approach to the Swiss philanthropy is given through the network of Swiss foundations. And, if your professional field is in the Arts and Humanities you should not miss the Gerda Henkel Stiftung in Germany.

The new Region in focus online today, looks at France's independent cultural sector through the viewpoint of the two cities, Nantes and Lille.

Banlieues d'Europe collected different perspectives through interviews, images and reflections by various cultural individuals. Added to this, I'Observatoire des Politiques Culturelles
undertook a mapping of key French organisations that facilitate cultural cooperation. Both contributions make up an interesting commentary on intercultural delivery in France.

The two cities, Nantes and Lille
both share a similar industrial past and have in recent years linked to cultural regeneration as a mechanism to improve and raise profile. Read about the dynamic communities from the two cities and the steps taken to create great events, cultural facilities for the metropolitan areas and thriving networks. There is also an insight into approximately seventy artistic and cultural facilities involved in European, international cross-border exchanges and intercultural projects in France.
