Both portals are founding members of inSEEcp.<br /><br /></span>Participants in the panel–discussion are also the representatives of regional CCP offices well as representatives of European formal and informal networks such are: NEMO, Clubture, IETM, TEH , Culture Action Europe, Europa Nostra, Lab for culture, Independent cultural association, Executive agency EACEA, DGEAC/European commision.<br /><br />The chosen topics for the panel discussion should help explain that the strategy of networking and cooperation between public and private sector represents a very efficient way not only of bridging the gap between the two, which still exists in most countries in Southeastern Europe, but also of overcoming the numerous problems and shortcomings regarding infrastructure (lack of space, equipment, technical tools…), human resources (lack of trained staff for new professions, lack of certain skills, use of common resources…), lack of partners and contacts, lack of communication with the government, lack of contacts with international financiers, the problem of not meeting contests’ criteria, etc. Although the presentations are aimed at general networking issues, they also analyze current trends and praxes through several case studies from Europe; they pose the question of the necessity for initiating an independent cultural network, the current state of networks, key agents, and prevailing approaches and challenges, through some of the topics: Presenting European Cultural Networks and Informal Initiatives to Professionals and to General Public; Why Do We Need Networks; Managing Networks and Participating In Them; Accessibility, Transparency and Sustainability of Networks; Gaining Acceptance and Status; Evaluation and Efficiency of Networks; Importance and Advantages of International Networks in the Field of Art; The Role of Networks in Development and Culture / Partnership and Networking as A Strategy; Networking as A Strategy For Overcoming Problems and Deficiencies in Infrastructure and Human Resources, As A Means for Creating Partnerships and Establishing Contacts, for Communicating with the Government, with International Financiers… Therefore, the discussion aims not only at exploring the issue of networking in culture but at emphasizing some concrete examples of cooperation, that give practical results valuable to culture workers and beneficial to the cultural and social community as a whole.<br /><br />Find out detailed program <a href="http://www.bitef.rs/edusoft/userfiles/file/NETWORK%20ENG.pdf">HERE</a><br /><br /><!--[if gte

Mainstream contemporary art in these countries still very often reflects this sentiment, openly promoting prejudiced stereotypes and justifying national ideologies or political agendas. Simultaneously, these countries have witnessed a significant decrease in critical reflection on contemporary art. Since mainstream media treat culture as entertainment, it is almost impossible to publicly discuss issues such as nationalism or chauvinism in art. Art criticism has dwindled down to occasional specialized magazines catering for a very narrow and mostly academic audience. Proper newspaper art reviews have virtually disappeared.</p> <p>Having this in mind, this project is conceived as widening the public space for critical discussion on contemporary art. This is of particular importance at this specific moment considering the European Union prospects of these countries, their connection to European common cultural space and adoption of European values of tolerance, participation, intercultural dialogue and inclusion. Criticism of contemporary art contributes to this dialogue inasmuch as it reveals the way in which contemporary art (de)constructs nationalistic myths, national identities and images of the other as well as the ways contemporary art deals with neuralgic and traumatic points of societies.</p> <hr /> </div> <p><strong>Project aims</strong></p> <p>The general aim of the projects is to initiate a Europe wide discussion on the significance of contemporary art in enhancement of the common cultural space achieved by affirmation of critical reflection on art.</p> <p>Specific objectives of the project are:</p> <p>1. To create trans-national critical discourse on art in order to contribute to intercultural dialogue;</p> <p>2. To facilitate the dialogue between artists and audiences by recreating the common cultural space;</p> <p>3. To promote European values, particularly intercultural dialogue, inclusion and participation, by means of increasing their visibility in online and print media.</p> <p>The project is defined by three main themes: dealing with the past, social transformation and identity. art criticism will be particularly focused on the way contemporary art treats: the past (emergence of new states, nationalism, chauvinism); social change (change of cultural framework, new economic system, decrease of public space, consumerism, censorship, freedom of speech); identity ((re)inventing national identity, building European identity, models of inclusion/exclusion of minority groups).</p> <hr /> <p><strong>Project structure</strong></p> <p>The project will focus on visual arts, performing arts and literature produced in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro in recent years. Art reviews will be produced during three <em>Art Modules</em>. There will be 11 participants (young art critics) per Art Module from all these countries selected based on their applications.</p> <p><em>The Art Modules</em> will be organized in Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia and they will host prominent thinkers from the region, Europe and the world. The first part of each art module is a three-day initial event which will include: workshops for young art critics, public lectures given by international lecturers and a public discussion on the topic of building democratic and open society.</p> <p>The second stage of each <em>Art Module</em> consists of writing essays on a predefined subject. Writing essays will be preceded by researches which will be conducted in all countries of the project (consulting archives, visiting events, interviewing artists etc.). Selected art reviews will be published simultaneously on the project web site and partner’ web portals, in daily and weekly newspapers in these countries and in other electronic media. Best art critics will be awarded a prize at the end of the project.</p> <p>Find out more on the project's Criticize this! web site <a href="http://www.criticizethis.org/">http://www.criticizethis.org</a><br /></p>inSEEcphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08711702464614642995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587064080918908670.post-1789533831619035762011-04-12T21:49:00.001+02:002011-09-18T22:13:37.282+02:00LTCA Publication on Critical Art Presented in BelgradeThe publication <span style="font-weight: bold;">'From Consideration to Commitment: Art in Critical Confrontation to Society (Belgrade, Ljubljana, Skopje, Zagreb: 1990-2010)'</span>, created as part of the regional project <a href="http://talkingcriticarts.wordpress.com/">Let’s Talk Critic Arts</a>, was presented on April 11 at 7 pm at the Art Center of the University Library “Svetozar Marković” in Belgrade.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOnInf_N1bb3f6DGmd4P2ryxwCFWXNNvm7pViZpAsqONTbhw5bVlFKgeSRaaNCQlmEmwPRY6FQBruz5ObC4Q083X-5ZUgCbGnZwFC1tPiaqmOTY39D8SRphcx1abPY5qqCB8HnfgVeOCE/s1600/ltca-promocija.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOnInf_N1bb3f6DGmd4P2ryxwCFWXNNvm7pViZpAsqONTbhw5bVlFKgeSRaaNCQlmEmwPRY6FQBruz5ObC4Q083X-5ZUgCbGnZwFC1tPiaqmOTY39D8SRphcx1abPY5qqCB8HnfgVeOCE/s400/ltca-promocija.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653795021594672322" border="0" /></a><br />Among the participants were Dea Vidovic (Kulturpunkt – Zagreb), Miha Colner (SCCA-Ljubljana – Ljubljana), Ivan Mirkovski (Forum Skopje – Skopje), and Vesna Tasic and Vesna Milosavljevic (SEEcult.org – Belgrade).<br /><br />Promotion of this multilingual publication was followed by presentation of Belgrade based artists <strong>Saša Stojanović/Ana Vilenica</strong> and Nikola Pilipović (<strong>Manik</strong> with Marija Vauda).<br /><br />The publication explores practices of critical contemporary fine arts – practices of research, progressive and experimental actions by contemporary fine artists from the 1990s to the present, in four countries in the region – Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia. These are practices which focus on issues such as identity aspects (national, cultural, religious, ethnic), workers’ rights, social integration of minorities, global market fluctuation trends and its impact in the local context, unscrupulousness of capital, the position of women, spatial devastation, art institution system issues, and many others. <p>The publication maps out and theoretically reviews critical and research practices, and contemporary fine arts practices oriented towards the contemporary civilization moment, which have been active in the context of the independent cultural scene since the 1990s, but which have also been present in the institutional frame. The authors provide only drafts of the political, social, economic and cultural changes of the local contexts, through four segments, due to a lack of space. Each segment focuses on the practices and context of a given country, i.e. the capital as the primary focus, and in addition to the introductory word by the authors, it includes interviews (with authors, theorists, curators, organizers…) who contribute to the recording of these artistic practices based on their experience, work and knowledge.</p> <p>The segments deal with the Belgrade, Ljubljana, Skopje, and Zagreb scenes.

Amongst them his so called soft terrorism actions. <p>Marko Brecelj is Slovenian singer/songwriter, self-called youth, cultural and social worker. From 1991, he runs <strong>Youth, cultural social and multi-media center (MKSMC)</strong> in Koper and the <strong>Association of Friends of moderate progress</strong>. In 2010 the Association celebrated 20th anniversary. On this venerable anniversary, an exhibition was prepared, originally on display in the Regional museum of Koper, and can currently (until November 19th) be seen in <strong>Ljubljana Spanish Fighters Cultural Centre</strong>.</p> <p>“How could we in retrospective condense biography of almost 50-years-old, who for years hasn’t been doing what he would have preferred, but what he thinks is the most urgent? In the seventies he acclaimed confirmation and was immediately in the prime of influence on generations of future artists. In the eighties he has devoted himself to his son less than to himself. He worked on the periphery of public life and, rarely but still, cancelled out those who tried to put him in oblivion with his excellent songs and continuous appearances. With his soulmate he ran into the nineties like in a tunnel with no end in sight, he fought for ‘liberated territories’: youth and cultural facilities, where generations, which will have to battle with defenders of social and civilization collapse, can flourish.” (from Marko Brecelj’s biography)</p> <p>Soft-terrorist actions file its history since 1999. Pre-event of soft-terrorism has occurred spontaneously on reception of the Ministry of Culture followed by much better conceptualized and prepared actions, from performance to <strong>Anton and Pohorski bataljon</strong> (1999), the <strong>Šeligo’s P-tič award</strong> (2001), bombing of U.S. Embassy and the Slovenian Government (2001), to the bell silencing or <em>Tapisirano vnebovzetje</em> (2003), when series of soft-terrorist actions experienced its peak. Brecelj sais that “soft-terrorism is not over, but was never pulled out of time context. Life inspires soft-terrorism, soft-terrorism is not in focus, it’s just method, or tool. Artistic work and fight for it, that’s what’s important.” (source: <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.dodogovor.org/Lahki/shownews.aspx?newsid=961" target="_blank">Mehki terorizem</a>.

In these <em>Open Talks</em> will participate artists, curators, theorists, cultural managers as well as wider public, and will be moderated by journalists and art critics <strong>Marko Golub</strong> and <strong>Vesna Tašić</strong>.<br /><br /><br />The themes of the <em>Open Talks</em> are critical practices in contemporary arts – practices of research, progressive and experimental character which take critical approach to reality, but also work and role of the institutional system. As the frame is rather wide and comprehends period of twenty years, it also comprehends generational gap, which is why we envisaged these <em>Open Talks</em> as a place of solidifying and exchanging knowledge, information and interpretation of artistic phenomena from the period. The other aspect takes into focus institutional and non-institutional, economic, social, political and other context giving the frame to the practices in focus. Although the focus of the projects are “critical practices”, the intention is to regard them in these talks in the wider context, and instead of one, unique story of two decades, to reconsider them and evoke more different narrative lines. <p><em>Open talks on Contemporary Visual Art Practices in Zagreb (1990-2010)</em> are organized by portal<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.kulturpunkt.hr/"><em></em></a><em style="font-weight: bold;"><a target="_blank">Kulturpunkt.hr</a></em> in cooperation with club <a href="http://www.booksa.hr/"><em></em></a><em style="font-weight: bold;"><a target="_blank">Booksa</a></em> and partners from the region – <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.scca-ljubljana.si/" target="_blank">SCCA</a><span style="font-weight: bold;">/</span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.artservis.org/"><em></em></a><em style="font-weight: bold;"><a target="_blank">Artservis</a></em> (Slovenia), <a href="http://www.forumskopje.com/"><em></em></a><em style="font-weight: bold;"><a target="_blank">ForumSkopje</a></em> (Macedonia) and <a href="http://www.seecult.org/"><em></em></a><em style="font-weight: bold;"><a target="_blank">Seecult.org</a></em> (Serbia).</p> <p><em>Open Talks on Contemporary Visual Art Practices in Zagreb (1990-2010)</em> are organized in the frame of the regional project <a href="http://talkingcriticarts.wordpress.com/"><em style="font-weight: bold;">Let’s Talk Critic Arts</em></a> initiated by portal for culture<em> <a href="http://www.seecult.org/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Seecult.org</span></a></em> from Belgrade in cooperation with partners from Slovenia – <span style="font-weight: bold;">SCCA/</span><em style="font-weight: bold;">Artservis.org</em>, Macedonia – <em style="font-weight: bold;">ForumSkopje</em> and Croatia – portal <em style="font-weight: bold;">Kulturpunkt.hr</em>.

The round table will be moderated by <strong>Nebojsa Vilic </strong>(Macedonia). <p>The main concept of the debate theme is based on the following quote: ”Violence may be in some sense ‘encoded’ in the concept and practice of public art, but the specific role it plays, its political and ethical status, the form in which it is manifested, the identities of those who wield or suffer it, it is always nested in particular circumstances.” [W. J. T. Mitchell, "The Violence in Public Art", pp. 37-8 in W. J. T. Mitchell (ed.) (1992) <em>Art in Public Sphere</em>. Chicago: University of Chicago Press]</p> <p>According to Nebojsa Vilic, this quote underscores three main lines of art in open public space, related to the City of Skopje as <em>The City of Solidarity</em>. The first aspect is, certainly, the excerpt about “particular circumstances” – the relationship between the ideological and political as the constituent of the appearance of the figurativeness (as narativeness) in the state purchases of sculptures in the central area of the city. The second aspect pertains to the notion of “political” status in the public art, i.e. political as execution of politics of arts – enforcing public interest in the zone of public space. At the third, simultaneously joining and dividing aspect is the one related to its “ethical” status.</p> <p>Skopje, as <em>The City of Solidarity</em> in the mid- and late-1960s, in the recent years became “city of violence”. Therefore, the City itself is located between the ethical status of international campaign of leftist structure of SFR Yugoslavia (we can recall: the disaster of Skopje earthquake is not measured through the number of dead only: 1 700 casualties, and the level of destruction, 85% of the central urban core, but the international community was driven to solidarity by the fact that it was the first big casualty after the WWII) and the ideological structure of the new nationalism in the new, democratic processes of transition of governing right-wing political parties.</p> <p>Therefore, the debate aims to analyze this complex relationship between ideology, politics and ethics, through the relationship of the purchased (visual) art and the public open space. Then, to define the ideological, political and ethical discourse towards the City of Skopje, in the sense of discourse of the ongoing internationalization of solidarity into the right-wing (ideological) milieu. And, finally, to position the potential links between the neoliberal (responsible) individual and the conservative (nationalistic) group.</p> <p>Potential guidelines:</p> <ul><li>public art as part of the ideological planning of the city</li><li>artistic activity in the public open space as ethical conduct of artists</li><li>controversy of public art in the polis</li><li>political discourse of public art, and</li><li>critical debate about the public critical debates on art</li></ul> <p>The round table is organized by <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.forumskopje.com/"><em></em></a><em><a target="_blank">Forum Skopje</a></em> together with partners from the region – <a href="http://www.artservis.org/"><em style="font-weight: bold;"></em></a><em style="font-weight: bold;"><a target="_blank">Artservis</a></em>/<a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.scca-ljubljana.si/" target="_blank">SCCA-Ljubljana</a>, <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.clubture.org/" target="_blank">Clubture</a> / <a href="http://www.kulturpunkt.hr/"><em style="font-weight: bold;"></em></a><em style="font-weight: bold;"><a target="_blank">Kulturpunkt.hr</a></em> (Croatia) and <a href="http://www.seecult.org/"><em style="font-weight: bold;"></em></a><em style="font-weight: bold;"><a target="_blank">Seecult.org</a></em> (Serbia).</p> <p>The round table <em>A Public Space between Solidarity and Violence </em>is organized in the frame of the regional project <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://talkingcriticarts.wordpress.com/"><em>Let’s Talk Critic Arts</em></a> initiated by portal for culture<em> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Seecult.org</span></em> from Belgrade in cooperation with partners from Slovenia – <span style="font-weight: bold;">SCCA/</span><em style="font-weight: bold;">Artservis.org</em>, Macedonia – <em style="font-weight: bold;">ForumSkopje</em> and Croatia – <span style="font-weight: bold;">Clubture / </span><em style="font-weight: bold;">Kulturpunkt.hr</em>.

The first round table was dedicated to the non-profit media trying to define their role and importance in Croatian society and present media landscape. The second round table dealt with journalism as profession and the challenges it is encountering today. The third event is taking into focus media and culture. <p><em>Public interview Media and Culture</em> we will try to analyze culture and arts contents published in commercial, public, non-profit and specialized media through examples from four countries of the region. Participants of this dynamic discussion are <strong>Dejan Budjevac</strong> (Macedonia), <strong>Saša Ćirić</strong> (Serbia), <strong>Dean Duda</strong> (Croatia) and <strong>Mojca Planšak</strong> (Slovenia) who will give an overview of the state of the space for culture in the media in the region. The discussion will be focused on evaluation of quality and ways culture and art topics are presented. The discussion, which will be held on Thursday, April 8th at 18 hours in club Booksa, will be moderated by <strong>Miljenka Buljević</strong>.</p> <p><em>Open Forum</em> of culture media and journalists aims to gather representatives of periodicals, magazines, editorial boards, programmes and media for culture. The lack of space for presenting and analyzing themes from the field of culture in mass media, made us to turn our attention to different types and forms of media which are trying to present cultural and artistic contents and are paying attention on the quality.

<br />
Supported by Pro Helvetia – Skopje, the ONLINE/OFFLINE festival, true to its name, has an online and an offline component.<br />
<br />
<span id="fullpost"><br />
The offline component is taking place in Skopje on 22 and 23 January 2009. It starts with a blogging workshop entitled 'Blogging and networking tools for artists', lead by blogger Deborah Hustic aka lomodeedee (<a href="http://www.lomodeedee.com/">Personal Cyber Botanica</a>) from Zagreb, and targeting especially artists and cultural operators. </span><br />
<br />
<span id="fullpost">A discussion under the title Where Is Culture, Where Is the Audience? will follow, involving not only the representatives of culture portals, but also editors of other popular, fun-oriented portals, and the audience. It will deal with the issues of interest, presentation, content, technology, social networking and web 2.0 modules and will attempt to respond to the issue of attracting audiences to culture, through portals as intermediaries in the process. The evening will end with the Plagij.at listening party.<br />
<br />
On the second day, Artservis’ Dusan Dovc will present its Art Suitcase, featuring digital art on the topic of the survival in the art world. It will also pack within works by Macedonian artists. An exhibition of photographs from previous Plagij.at events and the festival will be closed with a concert of the Serbian band Petrol and Macedonian all-girl band Vivid.<br />
<br />
The online part of the festival will be continuously updated and will consist of two blogs jointly managed by <a href="http://www.culture.in.mk/">www.culture.in.mk</a> and <a href="http://www.plagij.at/">www.plagij.at</a>. The addresses onlineoffline.wordpress.com and offline2online.wordpress.com will feature formats previously unused by the two portals – collections of works of relevant Macedonian artists, also their recommendations on other artists worth exploring, longer journalistic forms (interviews, reviews …) as well as audio and video features. Through the process of collaboration with the artists and journalists covering culture, we will aim to find the right format, satisfying the artistic criteria, while still being attractive for a wide audience. Also, one of the main role of the joint blogs, considering that a large part of portals’ visitors come from abroad, is to provide a more immersive cultural and artistic experience to audiences who cannot physically attend the events in question.<br />

The conference Cultu(RE)gion online!_The Future Goes By!, which took place this week in Belgrade has been covered at Labforculture portal.<br />
<span id="fullpost"><br />
'Gathered representatives of the portals for culture collected new knowledge in order to improve their work. Through sharing their professional experiences and through the workshops of social and cultural aspects of the web 2.0, but also through the practical usage of portals, blogs, social media and free software, they learned how to use social media in a better way. With presentations of existing portals for culture in SEE and through the discussions on possibilities and challenges of the art and culture in the digital era, they also promoted importance of digital culture.'<br />

'The shape of new inSEEcp logo is based on square that presents the basic unit of the screen resolution – pixel, in that sense showing the media it represents – the web portal. At the same time, squares are associate to web windows, their interlacing and information exchange; as well as the collaboration between portals in the region.'<br />
<span id="fullpost"><br />
'By spreading the squares from the upper left to the bottom right side in different colors, this logo is geometrically placed within a certain geographical and abstract context of the region, but this dynamic form itself shows a tendency for expanding outside of the borders. With the color pallet, logo for inSEEcp presents optimism and awakens positive vibrations.'<br />

In addition to the representatives of some twenty cultural portals from the region, participants in the conference will be the founder of Berlinergazette.de Krystian Woznicki and one of the pioneers of net-art and lecturer Vuk Ćosić from Ljubljana, who will speak about the phenomenon of social networks on the Internet.<br />

<br />
The conference has the aim of highlighting the potential of the network of cultural portals, as a platform for innovative cooperation in the region, but will point also to the obstacles that portals, as non-profit projects, face, in view of the inadequate cultural policies in the region and on the European level. New opportunities and challenges in the areas of culture and arts will be discussed, as well. A workshop will deal with the social and cultural aspects of web 2.0, presenting practical uses of portals, blogs, social web services and free software in culture and arts.<br />
<br />
This will also be an opportunity to add new members to inSEEcp, for the moment only from the region of former Yugoslavia.

InSEEcp is a result of workshops, meetings and on-line activities of culture portals in Southeast Europe, initiated in 2006, at the first regional meeting organized by SEEcult.org and Goethe-Institute Belgrade. <br />
Given the importance of digital culture, common problems of culture portals in the region, and rapid technological advancement, InSEEcp was launched for the purposes of on-line and off-line advocacy and promotion of culture on the internet, facilitation of a free flow of information about the diversity of cultures in the region, exchange of experiences, and professional enhancement, with a view to supporting and furthering quality production in culture and the arts, and drawing attention of the widest possible public to such production. <br />
At the very outset of its development, InSEEcp has gathered portals from the former Yugoslavia, and has thus formed a natural starting point for further networking in the SEE region, especially in light of related cultures and languages, and historical links of nations in the region.</span><br />
<br />
The first regional workshop of culture portals, titled “Culture on the Internet / Networking Participants in the Cultural Domain in Southeast Europe through Specialized Internet Portals” was held in Belgrade, in November 2006. Representatives of German portals Signandsight.com and N-ost.de were also present at the event. A round table – “Significance of Culture Portals”, hosted during the workshop, brought together representatives of target groups of portals, and attracted undivided attention of expert and wider audiences.<br />
Some InSEEcp members had already met each other at the round table of the Culturemondo international network, co-organized by Culturelink.hr, in Dubrovnik, in October 2006.<br />
<br />
Concurrently with the continuation of on-line activities, the second inSEEcp regional workshop, titled “Networking and Cooperation of Culture Portals in the SEE Region”, organized by SEEcult.org and Goethe-Institute, and supported by the Stability Pact for SEE, was held in Belgrade, in December 2007. A round table “Cultural Policy and Culture on the Internet – SEE and Europe” was held within the workshop. Representatives of the German portal Perlentaucher.de and target groups participated in discussions.<br />
<br />
InSEEcp presented itself for the first time to the international expert audience in Ljubljana, on 12 June 2008, at the “Re-Network!” conference, organized by CCP Slovenia / SCCA Ljubljana. <br />
<br />
InSEEcp members also took part in the international round table “Intercultural Dialogue and Digital Culture”, hosted by Culturelink.hr, in Zagreb, in November 2008. <br />
<br />
Within their two-year activities aimed at networking portals in the region, SEEcult.org and Goethe-Institute Belgrade, with the support of the Stability Pact for SEE, hosted a working meeting of inSEEcp in Belgrade, in October 2008, and also are organizing a regional conference “Cultures of the Region Online!_Future Goes By!” in Belgrade, on 8-9 December.<br />

<br />
Digital culture is a new complex notion: today digital trends are increasingly interloping with the world of culture and arts, involving different aspects of convergence of cultures, media and information technologies, and influencing new forms of communication. The new possibilities created by ICT – global connectivity and the rise of networks – challenge our traditional ways of understanding culture, extending it to digital culture as well. So, culture today should be understood as an open and dynamic process that is based on interactive communication, and we cannot think of it as an enclosed system which makes up a 'cultural mosaic' with other similar or diverse cultural systems. The ICT and especially the Internet, has given these interrelations a new dimension, by changing our relation towards knowledge and knowledge society, by intensifying the flow of cultural goods and services, and by causing a new understanding of cultural creativity.<br />
<br />
The book entitled <b>Digital Culture: The Changing Dynamics</b>, is the result of discussions among experts, members of the Culturelink Network and IMO's researchers, in the course of the past few years on the impact of information and communication technologies on culture and the changes that in the context of the information era affect established cultural practices and concepts. The inspiration for producing this book rose from the meeting of experts at the Culturemondo conference, held in Dubrovnik, Croatia in 2006, hosted by Culturelink. Informal debates led to the proposal to unite different approaches, opinions and reflections about the phenomena transforming the world today into one book focusing on digital culture.<br />

The event aims to discuss and share knowledge about the possibilities that digital culture provides for intercultural dialogue and to identify examples of existing good practices that allow for participation of users in virtual cultural projects, thus enabling democratic participation of citizens in the building of virtual/digital culture.<br />
We feel that issues related to digital culture and intercultural dialogue are insufficiently discussed and researched. In the roundtable discussions, we hope to clarify issues that often have diverse and imprecise meanings, focusing on the following topics:<br />
- Intercultural dialogue – concept and its realisation (clarifying issues) <br />
- Digital culture - how it relates to intercultural dialogue <br />
- Digital culture participatory practices - building shared spaces? <br />
- Digital culture new trends – portals, blogs, participatory internet: does the cultural sector recognize the current trends as a tool for enabling intercultural dialogue? <br />
So far a number of speakers have confirmed their participation, including Colin Mercer, Don Foresta, Myriam Diocaretz, Kelvin Smith, Rob van Kranenburg, Katherine Watson, Vesna Čopič, Vuk Čosić, Filip Stojanovski and Tomislav Medak.<br />
The round table is supported by UNESCO-BRESCE, the Croatian Ministry of Culture and the City of Zagreb.<br />
The working language of the symposium will be English.<br />

In general it was stressed that culture should not be seen as a mean (illustration, decoration, PR) but as a value as such. As a concrete example of anachronistic notion of the role of culture in our society, the obsolete and unproductive category of »Ambassadors« supported within the EU Culture Programme was pointed out. This financial support should be rather used to stimulate networks and festivals which can actually enhance transnational cooperation.<br />
<br />
Appropriate conditions on the national and regional levels as well should enable and enhance transnational cooperation through programmes stimulating mobility of cultural workers. The EU support programmes should broaden the geographical scope and substantially include the EU neighbourhood (more should be invested on future Members and regions “on the borders”).<br />
<br />
Existing definitions related to networks are out of date and networks should adopt more innovative conceptions of operation and contemporary, synthetic approach. We should avoid thinking in paradigm of a rigid and stable structure (‘network’) but rather of a fluid and changing process (‘networking’).<br />
