The 12th General Assembly and Conference of EFAH in Lille, France

October 28-31: The 12th General Assembly and Conference of EFAH - the European Forum for Arts and Heritage (Lille, France)

Increasing decentralisation and regionalisation in Europe prompts cultural operators and public authorities to consider policy ramifications of a more sophisticated interaction between culture and regions and the role of regions in initiating and supporting international cultural cooperation...

Europe's regions are extremely important politico-administrative entities, and issues of culture and cultural development should be placed at the core of the debates on decentralisation, regionalisation, distinction and social and economic development. Besides these issues, the Conference will as usual consider the current major developments of the European Union in terms of their impact on culture and cultural policy. Special attention will be given to the design of a new programme of the EC that should by 2007 replace the present Culture 2000 programme.
