On 11 February 2020, the questionnaire and CSO-form together with the 2005 Convention, a presentation of the Convention and a note presenting the themes of the QPR-report were forwarded by email to around 40 stakeholders. Contributors were given a deadline of 16 March 2020. The consultation was equally put on a general consultation website in order to reach a larger group of potential stakeholders. In addition, the Ministry of Culture organised separate meetings with selected Ministries and took part in a consultation meeting on 4 March 2020 organised by the Danish National Commission for UNESCO with around 20 participants. At the meeting, the 2005 Convention was discussed and a number of relevant projects were presented by participating civil society organisations.
As mentioned in previous QPR's, the implementation of the 2005 Convention forms a natural part of Danish cultural policy. The principles of the Convention are reflected in the development of new policies and initiatives in the area of arts and culture.
The legislation and institutional infrastructure in the field of culture and the general objectives of Danish cultural policy are based on the principle of freedom of expression aimed at offering and encouraging everyone living in or visiting Denmark to take active part in cultural life in its broadest sense. In addition, it should be equally recalled that a great part of the framework legislation in the cultural field continues to be based on the "arms-length-principle" which implies, inter alia, decentralisation and independent boards and committees of experts. As has been mentioned before, the Ministry of Culture acts as an architect, providing the framework for an overall cultural policy and - in cooperation with the Parliament - sets the objectives, financial frameworks, subsidy arrangements, and the organisational structures that constitute the basis of Danish cultural policy. It should be noted, that local government also plays a major part in providing financial support to mainly local cultural activities. In addition, private foundations contribute to the financing of public cultural activities and infrastructure. With such framework of legislation and financing it has been possible to support a diversity of cultural and artistic content and activities in line with the objectives and principles of the Convention.
Cultural policy in Denmark is based on the principle of equal access for all citizens throughout the country and the principle that all submitted projects are assessed according to the same criteria with quality as the main basic criterion. In addition to the general measures, initiatives exist targeted special groups (e.g. children and young people, minority groups) facilitating access to - and participation in - cultural activities and promoting cultural diversity. One example is the ballet performance UROPA at the Royal Theatre from 2016 involving asylum seekers who together with professional ballet dancers told their personal stories through music and dance. The promotion of cultural diversity is equally reflected in the Danish public service broadcaster DR's obligation to offer a broad coverage of Danish society as well as of the societies of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, and to present the diversity of cultures, philosophies of life and living conditions in different parts of Denmark.
Through the "International Cultural Panel" which is a cooperation body between Ministries and main institutions, organisations and agencies within international cultural exchange, concrete bilateral cooperation projects with partners from other countries have been developed and carried out. Such projects were conceived on the basis of principles such as equality, mutual interest and benefit for the parties involved, bottom-up approaches and artist-to-artist direct cooperation. Each project had a long-term perspective with a view to promoting sustainable contacts and partnerships. Following its strategy for 2017-2020, the International Cultural Panel has been focusing on cooperation projects with neighbouring countries in Europe, the United States and Asia. These geographical areas were selected, inter alia, on the basis of interests of the artists and the mutual interest of the parties involved of conducting and promoting intercultural dialogue. The thematic focus of the strategy has been on cultural exchange that addresses values and societal topics associated with Denmark, i.e. gender equality, children and young people's active participation in creativity, bottom-up decision making and sexual liberation. Another illustrative example is that, throughout 2017 in the context of the Nordic Council of Ministers, Denmark together with other Nordic Countries and UK partners organised a Nordic initiative in London, entitled "Nordic Matters". One of the aims was to raise awareness of the rich diversity of cultures within the Nordic Region which is normally regarded as a culturally very homogeneous area. Preparations have already begun for the next Nordic initiatve to be held in Canada where one of the main themes will be on indigenous people. Equally, through its participation in cultural cooperation of the EU, Denmark has been cooperating with other Member States and the European Commission in order to implement the objectives and principles of 2005 Convention. For example through the Creative Europe programme, the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, the Work Plan for Culture and the promotion of international cultural relations with a view to strengthening cooperation and exchanges beyond the EU.
In summary, the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions serves as a guiding principle for
Danish cultural policy both at a national and international level based on the principles of institutional legitimacy and transparency and the promotion of equal rights.
