Local Cultural Policies Handbook: Steps, Tools and Case Studies

İstanbul Bilgi University Press & European Cultural Foundation

Editor & Co-author | TR & ENG

Participation of local governments, civil so­ciety, public and private institutions, as well as the inhabitants of a city in the planning, development and implementation of cultural programmes is important in terms of devising plans with long-term applicability and du­rable impact. Local Cultural Policies Hand­book: Steps, Tools and Case Studies was compiled to this end, to underline this priority, and contribute to discussions around local cultural policies in Turkey by presenting case studies of plans and projects developed in a participatory and inclusive manner. Designed as a practical resource for municipalities and civil society organisations working in the field of culture, the publica­tion pulls together new methodological tools and diverse practical experiences from civic participation in local cultural policy develop­ment from across Turkey. With contributions by renowned experts, and edited by Eylem Ertürk, it is based on knowledge and field experiences gathered from the project Invisible Cities: Building Capacities for Local Cultural Policy Transformation in Turkey by the European Cultural Foundation, Anadolu Kültür and Cultural Policies and Management Research Center (KPY) at Istanbul Bilgi University.
