An efficient and effective approach
Local cultural policy deserves a professional approach: managed properly and in accordance with the administrative context. Good governance… when it comes to culture, too!
LOCUS monitors the administrative trends and applies them to the policy area of culture. The regional office encourages and helps professionals in the world of culture to develop, revamp and improve the management of the institutions and project and event organisation, a process in which the regional office aims to use innovative management practices.
Attuning what’s offered to the people it’s offered to
Initiatives directed at the public often face a balancing act when it comes to attuning the offer to the public. It’s all a question of ensuring that the right things are offered to the right people in the right way. And to be able to do that well, it is important to know who that public is made up of, what appeals to them, what they’re concerned about, and what obstacles have to be removed.
LOCUS wants to support libraries and cultural and community centres in their initiatives targeting the public. This support takes the form of studies and analyses, as well as campaigns and methodologies.
The social aspect of culture
Social developments and the specific nature of a local or district council or a town or city colour local cultural policy.
But what exactly does that mean?
In what way do local cultural policy and the work done by libraries and cultural and community centres relate to the demographic and sociological reality of the municipality and the region?
And how can that cultural policy and those libraries and cultural and community centres give residents the opportunity to take part in the community?
