Co-creation of cultural encounter

In Europe, for cultural organisations, managers, practitioners, policy makers and network-builders alike, the need for new vocabularies and methods for (cross-)cultural encounters has become increasingly urgent, given the polarised cultural discourse that contextualises their work. In the Netherlands, a new framework was developed for the arrangement of these encounters, providing a shared vocabulary and method for all levels of organisation. The framework provides a conceptual base, as well as a series of practical tools for the arrangement of cultural encounter: when “cultural self” and “cultural other” interact imaginatively.
