Advocacy
Culture and Commons is a statement by Connective Action for the Commons, a Europe-wide network of cultural organisations. It is inspired by the emergence of ‘commoning’ practices across Europe and beyond – as collective ventures of co-development and co-government – which have a potential to challenge the duopoly of the state and the market. This policy paper appraises culture as a key factor in terms of encouraging equality and experience, as well as accepting diversity and negotiating participation in these inclusive, collaborative and co-creating practices and urges European decision-makers to embed culture as an important perspective and practice contributing to the commons in their policy deliberations by presenting various good practices.
