COAL at CCL’s Policy Lab
Continuing the ArtCOP21 professional workshop and forming part of Leeuwarden-Friedland’s year of European Capital of Culture, On the Move, member of the European network CCL, as well as COAL, led a policy lab on the 3-4 July 2018 for cultural leaders and city influencers on how they can engage arts and culture with action on climate and the environment. Loic Fel, from COAL, delivered a speach at ths occasion.
The policy lab, titled ‘Cities, Culture and Climate Change Practises, Models and Future Actions’ – included a variety of inspirational talks from cultural leaders, as well as a practical workshop designed for city representatives, influencers and policy-makers. Participants learned from a variety of international good practice examples, demonstrating the low-carbon cultural economy as a driver for civic engagement, cultural diplomacy and innovation in urban development. Participants had the chance to share and troubleshoot their own experiences, ideas and challenges and got the opportunity to conduct an initial analysis of their own cities and practices, considering opportunities for scaling successful initiatives and developing new approaches and partnerships.
The objectives of the Policy Lab are:
- To demonstrate the role of artists and cultural professionals in contributing to the sustainable development agenda in cities;
- To identify the opportunities for connecting cultural and environmental policy-making: driving innovation and unlocking economic, social, environmental and cultural value;
- To share good practices on how cities and their local rural surroundings can better support their cultural infrastructure, artistic actions and cultural projects to respond to climate and environmental change through specific art funding lines but also policy, training and investment;
- To start scoping your city’s main opportunities for integrating arts, culture and environment: identifying opportunities for creating, connecting and reinforcing new and existing policy and practice.
