CAN CULTURE HELP THE POOR AND EXCLUDED ??

The last meeting of the EUROCITIES Culture Forum held in Vilnius on 16-19 June put special emphasis on the role of culture in addressing poverty and social exclusion. The meeting outcomes will contribute to the conclusions of the EUROCITIES 2010 campaign being run as part of the 2010 European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. One of the main conclusions of the session was that the EU should take into account both the role of culture and local authorities in tackling social exclusion and poverty. Further research on the role of culture in tackling poverty and social inclusion, and on innovative practices fostering access to culture, would also be very much welcome.
