Overview of Cultural Policy Context

Parties shall describe the key objectives and priorities of their current cultural policy and the impact the Convention has had in their formulation or reformulation. They will also report on the opportunities and challenges to promote the diversity of cultural expressions in a digital environment.:

Promoting access to culture and art and ensuring the freedom of expression in the arts and culture has been the overarching purpose of Danish cultural policy for many years. The vision of Danish cultural policy is continually to create and develop a rich and diverse cultural life, which moves and enriches both people and society as a whole. A key objective of cultural policies as a whole is to provide favorable conditions for creating, disseminating, experiencing and enjoying creative arts and protecting the cultural heritage. Therefore, the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions forms a natural part and to some degree also an extension of Danish cultural policy. To this end, the Convention in a Danish context can be viewed as a way of emphasizing the importance of cultural policies, as the Convention with its emphasis on fundamental and guiding principles for the promotion of cultural diversity serves as a confirmation of various important and recurring aspects of Danish cultural policy.

Overall framework of Danish Cultural Policy

Context of the measure:

CULTURAL POLICIES AND MEASURES

b. Objetivos clave de la medida:

During the last 55 years the Danish cultural policy has been based on principles very similar to those which are inherited in the UNESCO 2005 Convention.In Denmark, the Ministry of Culture is responsible for the following policy areas: Visual Arts, Music, Theatre, Film, Architecture, Libraries, Higher Artistic Education, Archives, Museums, Zoological Facilities, Cultural Environment, Sport, Broadcasting, Copyright and non-formal education and democratic voluntary activities. Activities within these areas are in many cases financed fully or partly by public means. Public subsidies to culture are divided between two levels of public administration in Denmark: the central government and municipal councils.

Subsidies for individual cultural goals vary a great deal among different financial sources. For example, theatre is primarily financed by the State, while libraries receive most of their subsidies from municipal councils, and public support to sport mainly derives from municipal resources and lottery proceeds. The Danish state supports the creative arts in different ways – through grants to institutions, according to objective criteria or with a point of departure in the “armslength principle”. Independence and the armslength principle are fundamentals of Danish cultural policy. In order to ensure freedom of expression in art and culture grants to artists are given with no political strings attached and criticism of everyone - including “the establishment” - is permissible. Where the armslength principle is applied, neither politicians nor the Ministry of Culture are involved in the concrete subsidy allocation or act as arbiters of taste. Instead, support is granted following a specialist evaluation of the applicant’s artistic qualities. The Parliament act as architect of the structural and financial framework for an overarching cultural policy. In collaboration with the Parliament, the Ministry’s role is to implement the financial and legislative framework. [...] (Continues under question c.3)

c.3. Característica principal de la medida:

The political framework for the arts support system is comprised primarily by the annual state budget and arts support legislation. In certain cases, grants and targets for an area of the arts are determined for a period of several years through a political agreement between members of the national parliament. The legislation gives the Minister for Culture the power to make decisions about the arts support system, such as the power to select members of committees and boards, to enter into framework agreements, or to approve institutions’ action plans. Within such politically determined frameworks, institutions, councils and committees in the arts support system can organise their business themselves.There are three bodies in Denmark that allocate cultural support according to the armslength principle: the Danish Arts Foundation, the Danish Film Institute and the Media Board (“Medienævnet”) (established in 2014 following the Act on Media Support), which means that their decisions are final and cannot be overruled by appeal to another administrative or political body. The central government’s (i.e. the state’s) support for operational costs for arts institutions comprises over two-thirds of the total central government arts funding. The Ministry of Culture’s support for operational costs to institutions is, as a rule, determined by means of four-year result or framework agreements with institutions that also include strategy and objectives for the institution’s work over the coming four years. Within the scope of the framework agreements the institutions have a high degree of autonomy.

Access for all to a diversity of cultural expressions is an important goal in Danish cultural policy. Special emphasis is put on efforts with regards to minorities. Work is ongoing in the associations of general education, sports associations, at libraries and many other cultural institutions to ensure that there are platforms for intercultural meetings between the different cultures that exist at all levels of the Danish society. [...]

d. Does it specifically target individuals and/or social groups as defined in Article 7 of the Convention?:

Yes

e. What are the results expected through the implementation of the measure?:

[...] Access for all to a diversity of cultural expressions is also achieved through decentralisation. The public funding system has secured that Denmark is geographically covered with a broad variety of cultural institutions, e.g. museums, theatres, orchestras, venues, libraries, music schools for children and young people, facilitating access to culture for everybody. The institutional infrastructure in the field of culture consists of a national and a local level only. The Ministry of Culture and the municipalities share the responsibility of implementing legislation and providing public funding for cultural institutions, activities, and projects. To read more about the different policy areas of Danish cultural policy see the website of the Danish Ministry of Culture http://www.kum.dk/english/Policyareas/

The following sections include a number of measures in the period 2012-2015 (including concrete projects), which serves as examples of various ways of accessing and promoting diverse cultural expressions.

Reform of the Art Funding System

Context of the measure:

CULTURAL POLICIES AND MEASURES

b. Objetivos clave de la medida:

In 2014 a “new” Danish Arts Foundation was established following the reform of the art funding system of 2012-2013. The new institution emerged from a merger between the then Arts Foundation and the Danish Arts Council. The reform consists of two political agreements of the art funding system (i.e. the new Danish Arts Foundation) and the lifelong benefits to artists. These agreements were implemented through the Act on the Danish Arts Foundation (“Lov om Statens Kunstfonds Virksomhed”) and the Act on Visual Arts and Artistic Design (“Lov om Billedkunst og Kunstnerisk Formgivning”), which entered into force in 2014. In terms of the scope of the Convention, the new structure of the Arts Foundation is most relevant as it directly relates to the way in which funding to the arts are distributed. The main objective of the reform was to create a more simple and transparent system for the public support to the arts. As a result thereof, the Danish Arts Foundation today consist of a coordinating board of directors and 12 specialist committees, who each focuses on a specific art form, i.e. literature, music, visual arts, performing arts, crafts and design, architecture and film.

The committees are divided into two different “columns”: project funding and grant funding. It is the Foundation’s specialist committees who decide which funding schemes should be set up and when funding to either specific artists or projects should be awarded. As stated in the legal framework for the Arts Foundation, the main criterion for receiving support from the Danish Arts Foundation is artistic quality. Therefore, the committees are responsible for assessing the artistic quality in all applications. Further, the committees are obligated to broaden their support in all relevant genres of their respective art form, to promote geographical diversity and must accommodate the production and dissemination of art to children and young people.

Revised Museum Legislation

Context of the measure:

CULTURAL POLICIES AND MEASURES

b. Objetivos clave de la medida:

In the revised Museum Act of 2012, it is stressed that museums must ensure a relationship between the cultural and natural heritage as well as the surrounding society and outside world. This stems from the Act’s statutory purpose, which states that museums “must ensure the cultural and natural heritage in interaction with the world around us”. Further, the Act stresses that museums must act according to local national and global perspectives in order to 1) actualize knowledge about cultural and natural heritage and make that knowledge relevant and accessible/available for all citizens; 2) develop the use and significance of cultural and natural heritage for citizens and society; 3) ensure cultural and natural heritage for future use. The Act also states, that the three main museums (i.e. the National Museum of Denmark, the National Gallery of Denmark and the Natural History Museum of Denmark) must increase the visibility and perspectives of their collections through participation in international cooperation. Another example of the relation between the Museum Act and the scope of the Convention is the Act’s mentioning of the fact that museums must be available to the public, and that entrance for children and young people under 18 years in museums covered by the Act is free of charge. Since 2006 the National Gallery of Denmark and the National Museum of Denmark have provided free access for all visitors. During the course of 2016 the two museums will be given the opportunity to charge entrance fees for adults, however with an obligation to provide family discounts.

❭ CULTURAL POLICIES AND MEASURES

Accessing cultural diversity through media support and public service

Context of the measure:

CULTURAL POLICIES AND MEASURES

b. Objetivos clave de la medida:

As stated in the Danish QPR of 2012, media policy is regarded as an integral part of Danish cultural policy due to the societal significance of the mass media for the development of Danish culture and political debate. A media policy agreement (“mediepolitisk aftale”) between the government and one or more parties in the Parliament, usually spanning four years, form the basis for legislation in the area of radio, television and public service.Grants for media includes for example:

printed and internet based news media (see elaboration of the new Media Support Act in sec. 1.4.1),
non-commercial local radio and television (i.e. to civil society), including support for training/education based on statutory objective criteria. The schemes are administered by an independent board, the Radio and Television Board.
distribution of periodic magazines and journals, primarily union journals through the Magazine Fund (“Bladpuljen”), which was established in 2004 with the purpose of promoting democratic debate as well as cultural and societal enlightenment.

A cornerstone of the media policy is the notion of public service, which seeks to address the need for a versatile and balanced range of programmes and services for all parts of the population. Therefore, public service activity in Denmark seeks to ensure that the entire Danish population has access to a wide range of programmes and services via media channels such as television, radio, and the internet. The Danish public service institutions include DR, TV2 Danmark, TV2 Regions and Radio 24syv, which all help to ensure pluralism in both radio and television, national and regional, to the entire population on multiple platforms. Further, the “Public Service Pool” (“Public Service Puljen”) provides the opportunity for other instituions not covered by license fees to apply for funding for programs and productions, which meet the requirements of the public service objectives (originality, significance and quality).

Example: Media Support Act granting support to internet based news media

The revised Media Support Act entered into force on 1 January 2014. Media support is the collective term for the Ministry of Culture subsidies for printed news media and the written internet-based news media. The key objective of media support is to promote a comprehensive and diverse range of news of social and cultural nature aimed at strengthening the Danish democracy and the democratic debate. Based on objective criteria, media support is granted for the production of editorial content for a wide range of print media. With the new Act, internet media is also considered eligible for media support. Additionally, media support can be granted in order to establish new media. To this end, the overall Danish media support scheme serves to promote and lay the foundation for a diverse media landscape. The scheme is administered by an independent board. [...]

1.1.1 DR as an example of accessing cultural diversity through public service media

DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) is the biggest provider of public service in the Danish media market, and is organised as an independent public institution financed through license fees. In the cultural field, DR has to place a special emphasis on its role as initiator and communicator of Danish art and culture and the Danish cultural heritage; enrich the cultural life in Denmark with original contents; place a special emphasis on the Danish language and actively contribute to preserving and developing the Danish language so the listeners, viewers and users experience accurate and intelligible Danish in DR’s activities. Further, DR has an obligation to offer a broad coverage of the Danish society as well as of the societies of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, and to reflect the diversity of culture, philosophies of life and living conditions in the different parts of Denmark. On TV, cultural contents is a constituent element in a number of regular programs on the main channel DR1, for instance in the News and in the daily journalistic current events program “Aftenshowet”. The downright culture programs are primarily broadcasted on DR’s specialized channels, DR2 and DRK, which encompasses different approaches to culture and both provide insight and create debate about the arts and music. While DR3, a specialized channel for younger audiences, has a strong profile on music. Examples of main TV initiatives in 2015 includes the second season of the successful drama series “Arvingerne” (The Legacy” and the competition “Danmarks nye julesang” (‘Denmark’s new Christmas Carol’), where amateur and professional songwriters composed approximately 500 new Christmas songs. On the radio, DR’s portfolio of FM and digital radio channels ensure a wide communication of culture and music contents within all genres.

CULTURAL POLICIES AND MEASURES

b. Objetivos clave de la medida:

In 2013, the Ministry of Culture launched the national campaign “Denmark Reads” to promote reading of litterature – especially among people who seldom or never reads litterature (which is estimated to be 40 pct. of the Danish population). The campaign contained two efforts: Firstly, a competition, where municipalities competed to be Denmarks ‘smartest' reading municipality. The municipalities were judged by different criteria, but in short the municipalities with the most effective and original new reading experiments were awarded. In May 2015, Randers Municipality was announced winner. Secondly, a “Denmark is Reading Day” was held 23rd of April 2015 (on UNESCO’s World Book Day). On this day, volunteers handed out 5 different Danish titles in 100.000 copies to people who do not read on a regular basis. The titles were carefully selected by an expert panel and chosen from a list of 60 titles suggested by publishers.

The guiding principle for Denmark in terms of international cultural cooperation is to take actively part in the work of international organisations highlighting the viewpoints and needs of a small country and a small language area in larger international and global issues. This include active participation in international fora such as the Nordic Council of Ministers, the European Union, the Council of Europe and UNESCO as well as bilateral cultural cooperation, e.g. through mutual cultural exchange.

This section will introduce a number of measures serving as examples of ways of facilitating international cultural cooperation with a main focus on mutual cultural exchange, as cultural exchange form the primary basis for Danish international cultural policy.

The International Culture Panel: Cooperation and Knowledge-sharing between public officials and cultural actors

Context of the measure:

INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL COOPERATION

b. Objetivos clave de la medida:

Denmark’s cultural exchange with other countries comprises a plenitude of actors at national and local level, who are based both in and outside of Denmark. As mentioned in the Danish QPR of 2012, there are several challenges facing a small country on the global scene when it comes to international cultural exchange, e.g. to create conditions for individual artists and cultural institutions to be able to function in a globalised world where it is necessary to be able to build and maintain professional working networks with international partners. Especially as a small country, it is important to facilitate cross-sectional cooperation aiming at combining experiences and achieving synergies without losing the richness and diversity of international activities and relations with other countries. Since 2010 the key actors in the field of cultural exchange have been gathered in an International Culture Panel.

The Panel is a cross-ministerial collaboration between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Business and Growth and the Ministry of Culture as well as the following institutions, who all in their own way and with different starting points are active in international cultural cooperation: The Danish Arts Foundation, The Danish Cultural Institute, Danish Architecture Center, Danish Design Centre, Danish Film Institute, Center for Culture and Development, Danish Agency for Palaces and Culture and VisitDenmark. The main purpose of the collaboration in the Panel is to increase Denmark’s cultural exchange with foreign countries and to strengthen the internationalisation of Danish cultural life. Herein lies an inherent focus on creating coherence and give the various international cultural initiatives a shared focus with a view to create increased visibility and impact of cultural exchange projects.

Film and audiovisual works are examples of how art forms can form a basis for exchanging cultural content among people regardless of “factors” such as age, gender, background, nationality and so forth. The following two examples of concrete projects serve as an illustration of film as a way of establishing the basis for intercultural dialogue, learning and talent development.

Cinema on the Road is a project in collaboration between the Danish Embassy in Lebanon, Metropolis Art Cinema in Beirut and The Danish Film Institute focusing on enhancing film literacy for children and young people in Lebanon with a view to create a basis of establishing dialogue with children through film. The project entails film screenings in schools and refugee camps - both in official Palestinian camps and informal Syrian camps, as well as training facilitators from local organizations. The ambition is that the experience and skills embedded in a local organization will strengthen the sustainability of the project in the long term.

b. Objetivos clave de la medida:

Since 1991 the annual IMAGES Festivals has been presenting contemporary art and artists from developing countries rarely exposed in Denmark. Through the festivals the Danish population gets a first hand impression of how art is a vital factor of change and development in these countries. And by joint productions and exhibitions with likeminded Danish artists, the visiting artists get a life-long network and inspiration to develop their own art form. Quite often the participating artists gain more recognition in their own country after having been part of an international arts festival supported by the Danish government. In some cases it has also been a gateway to international recognition and an important step for free artistic expression.

PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT

b. Objetivos clave de la medida:

The Danish Film Institute/Cinematheque mainly feature films that are “invisible” in the ordinary film repertoires and the media in general. The program includes quality foreign films that have not yet achieved commercial distribution, exotic film traditions and avant-garde and experimental films. The Cinematheque emphasizes the diversity of cultural expressions in the program and screen films from a number of different countries and film cultures. In the past year the Cinematheque has presented seasons of new films from e.g. Bhutan, Mongolia, Taiwan, Slovakia, Armenia, Georgia, Cuba and Iran. The Cinematheque invites guests from different countries and film cultures to introduce films and organize events and debates on historical, esthetical and political subjects that are related to the program. In February 2016 the Cinematheque for instance hosted a Mongolian film festival, which invited two guests from Mongolia and questioned the idea of Mongolia which conjures up images of Ghengis Khan, the Gobi Desert, camels and yurts. But today, while the nomadic traditions are still alive, Mongolia is opening itself up to the world and also carving a new contemporary culture and identity.

INTEGRATION OF CULTURE IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - AT NATIONAL LEVEL

b. Objetivos clave de la medida:

The integration of culture in sustainable development policies is an important goal for Denmark on both the national level and the international level. It should be noted, that sustainable development often in Denmark is referred to as environmental sustainability. This section, however, views sustainable development in a broader sense encompassing examples of ways of using art and culture to address challenges and needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (cf. Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987). One such challenge is that of social inclusion and integration, which this section entails two concrete projects aimed at addressing on a national level. On an international level, this section describes one project aimed at enhancing arts education and one project aimed at culture and environmental sustainability.

Please note, that not all of the key questions a-i are relevant for each measure. Therefore, the questions will not be addressed individually, but instead sought incorporated into the overall description of each example.

This includes for example the work within UNESCO and the UNESCO National Commission, the European Union as well as within the Nordic Council of Ministers. In relation to the preparation of this report, the Ministry of Culture has asked and encouraged both cultural stakeholders as well as stakeholders with a broader “societal purpose” to contribute by sending information about activities directly or indirectly linked to the scope of the Convention. Further, promoting cultural diversity and diversity in cultural expressions also follows from the underlying “purpose” of Danish cultural policy. As such, awareness-raising and participation of civil society is an integral part of the various policies, projects and activities developed and by civil society organisations both with and without public support. The attached compilation of examples includes both specific projects aimed at promoting cultural diversity through cooperation between civil society actors as well as activities directly linked to promoting the Convention.

Achievements and Challenges

Describe main results achieved in implementing the Convention:

Following the ratification of the Convention in Denmark, it was concluded that Denmark was already complying with the provisions of the Convention Denmark has been actively engaged in following up on the Convention since its entry into force. The formulation of new policies in the area of arts and culture is based on the Convention. As the Danish cultural policy from the beginning has been based on principles very similar to those in the Convention, the implementation of the Convention on an overall level in Denmark must be categorized as successful. Among the achievements is that Denmark is covered by a plenitude of publicly supported museums, theatres, orchestras, venues, libraries, music schools, that gives everybody acces to a wide and diverse range of cultural and artistic expressions.

An overall challenge in the cultural area – as to the entire society – is continually to look at the way money is being spent and to make priorities in order to get “as much culture as possible”.

An example of a future cultural policy initiative is a national debate about cultural awareness and intangible cultural heritage in the shape of a cultural “Canon” collecting proposals from the entire population about those values, traditions, habits and so forth, which combined constitute a part of a common Danish “narrative”. This debate will be carried out throughtout 2016 with a view to increase the cultural awareness and the social cohesion across Denmark.

Further, the strategy for international cultural cooperation within the International Culture Panel (see section 2.1) will be revised in 2016. Given the closure of the Danish Centre for Culture and Development by the end of 2016, new ways of incorporating culture in order to achieve overall development policy priorities will be considered.

The Danish Cultural Centre in 798 International Arts District, Beijing, China opened in 2015, followed by the opening of a Chinese Cultural Centre in Copenhagen in 2014 in Copenhagen. The two centres are established according to a signed agreement between the PM of Denmark and the President of China in 2012 and are as such an example of international cultural cooperation. The Danish Cultural Center is a non-governmental institution that works with international cultural exchange in a wide range of areas. It promotes cultural exchanges between Danish and Chinese parties and informs about Denmark. It also supports projects that aim at long-term cooperation between Chinese and Danish cultural institutions, artists, and other professionals in the field of creative industries and economies. An example is the exhibition 'Age and the City: Copenhagen Experiments'. The exhibition is based on the research master's program 'Urbanism and Societal Change' at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Both Denmark and China are facing challenges in a much larger proportion of elderly in the population. The exhibition presents estimates of the impact of demographic trends, respectively Denmark and China will have on the development of urban typology. The posters show Danish proposals for solutions in varies cities and communities. On the center's second floor you can see the results of a workshop with Danish and Chinese architecture students, who in August was working to translate the Danish model for one of Beijing's oldest neighborhoods around Baitasi Temple west of Beihai. The centre fosters Danish-Chinese intercultural understanding and dialogue concerning issues of common concern in relation to culture and society. The scope is local (Beijing), national (China – also facilitated by touring productions) and bi-lateral/international. The Danish Cultural Institute funds the centre, in part through government funding and in part through private funding.

d. Does it specifically target individuals and/or social groups as defined in Article 7 of the Convention?:
