EUROPEAN AGENDA FOR CULTURE: A MEETING OF THE NETWORK OF THE CITIES OF CULTURE
The European Agenda for Culture identifies cities as natural partners for a cultural development, places of experimentation and social and economic innovation trends. Focusing the discussion on the strategic objectives of the UE – social, economic and external sphere – the comparison enhances the experiences of the Network of cities and Italian Capital of Culture, to identify replicable models.
The Network of Cities will be a platform for comparison and exchange between the cities and gives guidelines for good practices useful to cities for an integrated and innovative cultural management.
