Invitation to Workshop 1 on 16 March 2020 – Working Group for Cultural Policy, Immigrants and Promotion of Cultural Diversity
Dear Friends of the Arts and Culture,
The Working Group for
Cultural Policy, Immigrants and Promotion of Cultural Diversity invites
all stakeholders and other interested parties to the project’s 1st
workshop, which will take place on Monday, 16 March 2020 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?
