Invitation to Workshop on 25 August 2020 – Working Group for Cultural Policy, Immigrants and Promotion of Cultural Diversity
The Working Group for Cultural Policy, Immigrants and Promotion of Cultural Diversity invites all stakeholders and other interested parties to the project’s workshop that was postponed in March. The workshop will take place on Tuesday, 25 August 2020.
Due to the COVID-19 situation we will organize workshop in two time slots with identical programme, which means that you can participate at 9-12.30 or at 12.30–16.00. The workshop will explore the opportunities for first and second generation immigrants in Finland to engage in artistic and cultural activities, both professionally and otherwise.
Venue: Ministry of Education and Culture, Meeting Room Jukola, Meritullinkatu 1, Helsinki.
The workshop seeks answers to how everyone could enjoy opportunities to pursue professional engagement in the arts and culture sector, and to participate in the Finnish art and culture scene as practitioners and producers. We will ask what concrete factors create such opportunities and what prevents them from being realised. How do the various parties in society open or close doors to new opportunities? What solutions do we have for promoting equality and equal opportunities in the field of arts and culture?
