East European Reflection Group
Cultural Actors of Change in Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova
You may have read our online reports at the bottom of this page on culture and the arts in Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus - some of the fruits of our East European Reflection Group.
At the ECF, we are strongly committed to the promotion of cultural cooperation and the notion of 'the wider Europe'.
However, we did not have much knowledge of and experience in working with the countries of Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova.
So we launched a series of reflection (and advocacy) processes with cultural experts & operators, policy makers and artists of the 3 countries. We call this group our Eastern Reflection Group.
This summer we had highly inspiring and constructive meetings. Through this common research work on cooperation in and with the Eastern European neighbourhood, we strive for a much clearer understanding of the issues at stake, cultural-political conditions in place and possibilities of change.
A report per region was written, giving a balanced view on the intertwined political and cultural issues at stake in the countries, as well as making already some recommendations with regards to avenues for change, each time contextualised and based on the results of the questionnaires, interviews and regional meetings organised this summer.
