Have your say in our upcoming policy brief on culture and the digital

This year, the exploraton of the relationship between digital rights, democracy, and cultural work has been the main fil rouge across our activities. From our annual conference, to our new dedicated training programme, to our latest publication, we have looked at the ways in which culture and power play out within digital infrastructures, and explored alternative practices with a view to supporting cultural professionals in navigating this landscape critically.

In parallel, from the beginning of the year, we have been monitoring relevant policy developments and conversations, and gathering insights from the projects we’ve been involved in. As a result, we have drawn around 15 conclusions in the form of advocacy statements. At the upcoming meeting of our digital ethics working group, sheduled for October 6th at 12h30 CET, we would like to gather your feedback on these statements, see to what degree you agree or disagree, and whether you have witnessed or experienced relevant examples at the local, regional, and/or national level that illustrate, corroborate, or challenge these findings in concrete ways. The results of this exercise will inform our upcoming brief condensing recommendations for EU policy makers on digital infrastructure, data-driven processes, and artificial intelligence in the specific context of the cultural sector.

The meetings of our digital ethics working group are open to both ENCC members and non-members. Anyone with an interest in the topic and/or relevant experience to share is welcome to join.
