Portugal 2016 report

General Information

Executive Summary

Please summarize in max 3500 characters the main achievements and challenges in implementing the Convention and the outlook for the future. Please note this is not an introduction to the report or an annotated table of contents.

The spirit, values and principles of the 2005 Convention - even if not stated explicitly - are present and shape different political documents concerning present and future cultural policies, namely the program of the current government and the Major Planning Options for the next few years. We only have to see the importance conferred to cultural heritage preservation and restoration (tangible and intangible heritage), cinema, visual and performing arts, design, etc. and there will be no doubt about the commitment of national authorities regarding this subject.

A central position is also granted to cultural and creative industries, its development, promotion and financing. Cultural expressions come essentially from CCIs, developed and promoted by SMEs (mainly small and very small enterprises), in different areas of the CC sector, struggling against majors, against crises, lack of funding, international competition, lack of training,… This is why CCIs and its funding are so important to protect and promote the diversity of cultural expressions in general, particularly in small countries like Portugal.

If protection and promotion of cultural diversity expressions is the core “business” of CCIs, it is also one of the main guidelines for many official institutions, many NGOs, giving substance to a significant number of state and civil society initiatives, measures, programs and projects.

Dialogue and close work with civil society is crucial, as well as cooperation and cross cutting work between central, local and regional administrations.

But there’s still a lot to be done concerning civil society since this is a double face relationship and sometimes it seems that only one of its sides reveals openness and readiness for this real peer-to-peer cooperation. ICTs facilitates the job, the digital environment is a favorable one, social media fosters contacts and interaction among partners.

A particular word must be granted to cooperation with the Portuguese speaking countries; more than international cultural cooperation or preferential treatment, relationship within CPLP, the community of Portuguese speaking countries, is a national goal, to the achievement of which common history and cultural heritage, as well as interest on protecting and promoting the diversity of their common and different cultural expressions, are crucial.

The above said (and detailed in the Report) does not exhaust national cultural policies, but gives an idea of orientations and priorities of Portuguese government for the cultural sector, where the diversity of cultural expressions is crucial, being its protection and promotion a common goal of Portuguese official authorities and civil society.

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.:

Culture is considered by the current government as an essential pillar of democracy, national identity, innovation and sustainable development. Fundamental aspects of the government action are the constitutional guarantee of democratic access to cultural creation and fruition, preservation, expansion and promotion of our tangible and intangible heritage, as well as assumption of Culture as an essential factor of innovation, qualification and competiveness of our economy.

A cross-cut cultural policy is in progress, identifying, stimulating and assembling cultural elements in all governance sectors, particularly those of education, training, employment, regional development, tourism and external trade. In the Cultural public sector, priorities are the reform of the sector, endowing it with flexible and effective models suitable to the specificity of its mission, stimulate network between central and local administrations and between public agents and civil society, redefine rules and procedures for financial support schemes.

At the same time, the reinforcement of arts and humanities as central elements of the educational system, the intensification of the public media service as a privileged instrument of cultural policies and the use of ICT to guarantee a large scale access to heritage and creation are needed. Still, measures in the areas of taxation, labor legislation and Social Security, to dignify culture professionals, to support and make more dynamic entrepreneurship and creative industries and stimulate production and consumption of cultural goods will proceed.

Concerning the cross-cut character of cultural policies, priorities are the reestablishment of the Ministry of Culture (accomplished in 2015) as the first promoter of a coherent and sustainable cultural policy and a privileged partner to other Ministries, at the same time that promotes network with the local and regional decision centers, reinforcing its initiative and capacities.

More participated and accessible culture to everyone will demand an integrated approach that mobilizes traditional channels for communication and knowledge and content transfer, and new digital platforms, reducing costs and facilitating access by means of incentives to cultural products consumption.

Tangible and intangible heritage is a major element to cultural and social identity of the country, a factor of enrichment of relations between Portugal and the countries where that heritage can be found, a rich and differentiating element for the attractiveness of regions and the development of tourism. Therefore there’s a shared responsibility to preserve and promote this heritage, guaranteeing a large scale access to its fruition and assuring its transmission to future generations.

Cultural and creative industries are crucial to the promotion of economic activities and jobs creation, promoting cross-cut policies that foster synergies between relevant sectors as tourism and construction (heritage rehabilitation and restoration). Policies that enriches and dignifies authors and artists and improves the conditions for the development of their professional activity through a better protection of their rights, better access to financial support and less labor instability are essential.

Even if the 2005 Convention and its principles are not expressly referred to, they underlie cultural policies defined, namely in the promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions in a digital environment.

a) It is (or has been) the basis for changing one or more policies?:

Yes

How?

The political program of the current government as well as the Major Planning Options for the next four years were designed taking into consideration, among other elements and concerns, the major challenges Portugal will face in the next few years. And one of this challenges will be, precisely, the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions, namely in the growing and increasingly important and compelling digital environment. This explains the references in the texts, but mainly the initiatives and measures that have been undertaken, the ongoing policies regarding cultural heritage, cinema, arts, artists protection, CCIs funding among many others.

Bilateral agreements include growing references to the 2005 Convention, multilateral policies (for instance in the EU framework) are based in its principles.

In the Culture ministerial meeting of the Portuguese speaking countries already in 2012, a Resolution concerning the 2005 Convention was approved, urging the Community members to sign and ratify the Convention and, even more important, to implement its principles and orientations in each country. Portugal was a subscriber and a strong supporter of the proposal and at national and international levels the basic principles of the Convention act as important guidelines for cultural policies.

b) It is (or has been) a tool to promote policy discussion?

Yes

How?

The 2005 Convention has been a tool to promote policy discussion, namely and mainly in the dialogue with civil society. In the public sector and within the Ministry of culture, in areas such as cinema or the performing arts, cultural diversity is crucial, meaning this that the basic principles of the Convention are present in all policy discussions, even if an explicit reference to it is not made. Discussions concerning financial support to individual artists, to Festivals, to film, among others, are enriched with the need to respect cultural diversity, to promote the diversity of cultural expressions, trying to find a balance among the different cultural expressions.

c) It is (or has been) a reference for ongoing policy development?

Yes

How?

The 2005 Convention has been a reference for ongoing policy development. For instance, bilateral cooperation agreements and programs include more and more references to the Convention as a tool for cooperation and a landmark to be considered and respected. Being a Party to the Convention may not be a sinequanon condition for the signature of an instrument of cooperation but is undoubtedly a benchmark in the development of such cooperation and is therefore increasingly included in the texts of the Cooperation Agreements and Programs.

Context of the measure:

CULTURAL POLICIES AND MEASURES

b. Objetivos clave de la medida:

The General Directorate for the Arts is a central department of the Ministry of Culture. It's mission is to coordinate and carry out arts support policies, foster institutional partnerships and conduct the necessary course of action to ensure the universal character of its undertaking, as well as the freedom and qualification of artistic creation.

The core objectives of DGARTES include: to support independent cultural agents, to actively promote the internationalisation of Portuguese arts and artists, to divulge the works of artists and interpreters through publications in various types of media and to encourage innovation and experimenting in the field of the arts. This is part of a comprehensive strategy that aims to support artistic creation and dissemination, the development of new audiences and increased international cooperation and exchange.

The competences of DGARTES comprise the implementation of the new arts support policy whose core objectives include the consolidation and sustainability of a network of technically and vocationally oriented independent cultural agents spread out evenly throughout the various regions of the country. This network is responsible for the introduction of new intervention models in articulation with other sectorial policies, for encouraging partnerships with local authorities, and also for supporting production and programming, particularly with the purpose of giving renewed visibility and reviving the network of municipal theatre-movie houses.

The new arts promotion policy also aims to encourage increased sharing of responsibilities between the State, cultural agents, local authorities and other public and private bodies, with a view to promoting the creation and dissemination of the arts. By making full use of available tools for the virtual management of information, it is equally responsible for ensuring the recording, organisation and dissemination of contemporary production, either by generating or integrating national and international information networks that are accessible to both professionals and public.

The programmes support the creation, production and dissemination of the arts, as well as the consolidation, qualification and stimulation of cultural equipment networks. The public financing of activities and projects that contribute towards the promotion of the artistic creativity and capacity for innovation at national and international level is one of the core instruments used to carry out these two correlated sides of cultural policy, which also aims to raise the awareness and critical stance of the population, thus supporting their qualification and social cohesion in the process.

Taking into account the role of culture, particularly that of the arts, in the social and economic development of the country, as well as the need for convergence of sectorial policies by bringing together synergies and their replicating effects, the Government has set up a normative framework, via the Directorate-General for the Arts, that regulates support activities, in response to the need to consolidate and foster the sustained development of artistic activities.

ADDICT was founded by 10 institutions with the aim to:

• Promote the CCI sector and the region;

• Help revitalize the industrial sector in the region;

• Create a connection between universities, the industry and young entrepreneurs.

ADDICT has then become the representative and coordinator for the creative industries cluster in Northern Portugal and later at national level. One of the ADDICT’s successes was joining the European Creative Hubs in 2014 that is now financed by the EU and whose goal is to monitor the hubs space.

ADDICT has 80 members covering the whole CCIs and spilling over to other sectors, such as research & development, universities, cultural NGOs (theatre groups etc.), city councils, freelancers, youth associations and others. The association is recognized by the Portuguese Ministry of Economy as the coordinator of creative industries cluster in Portugal. Additionally, ADDICT contributes to strategies addressing territorial competitiveness and urban regeneration.

ADDICT work includes:

• Co-operation with other partners on developing various initiatives targeting the sector’s professionals and organizations and also policy decision makers and institutions.

Providing support for its members to identify the appropriate partners and funding sources. To facilitate this, ADDICT organizes various events, such as Club ADDICT sessions or the European Creative Hubs Forum120, to address main interests and concerns of its members and to provide opportunities for new contacts and networks.

i.1 At what level the evaluation was conducted?:

National

i.2 What were the main conclusions?:

The long-term impact in the area of competitiveness of the creative strategy is yet to be mapped, however, it is already visible that the development of creative clusters has had a positive impact on urban regeneration and in attracting young creative minds to the region of Northern Portugal. There is no overall monitoring of effectivity. The national statistics about the CCI sector appear to be weak and incomplete. However, they show that the sector has been growing, thanks to the local investment in CCI.In 2013 a study was commissioned on the national level about the internationalization of the national CCI sector and its main conclusions were:

Motivation and knowledge of the CCIs sector of ADDICT employees. ADDICT is the only entity in Portugal that represents the CCI sector and thanks to its knowledge of the sector and its participants it has a role of mediator and facilitator.

• ADDICT’s model of functioning is a good one, however, without sufficient support (for example, national strategy), the implementation of it is very challenging. One of the successful approaches that could be replicated on the EU level is the involvement of various actors from across the business spectrum and not focusing on just entities involved with the CCI sector. The combination of cooperation and collaboration could be also replicated together with the improvement of interaction facilitation.

Some of the barriers that the agency and the sector face include:

• Lack of a nationwide political vision for the further development of the CCI sector and, as a consequence, lack of specific programmes and support tools;

• Lack of backing from authorities;

• Lack of effective collaboration with institutions;

• Many ADDICT members (for example, universities) have their own CCI departments that do not collaborate with the association;

• Economic and political instability that prevents an implementation of a long-term investment strategy;

• Emerging sector that cannot afford to pay for advice;

• Insufficient international mobility and participation in networks.

The program provided a clear concept and defined the objectives intended to achieve with this infrastructure, listing a series of skills and spaces that constitute the functional program for both the new and the existing buildings, as well as the adjacent plots of land. For this purpose three major program areas were defined:

-Art Center, which houses a permanent collection, in this case the Collection of José Guimarães, temporary exhibition area, a multipurpose space for additional activities, performances and shows, in addition to a series of complementary services. The exhibition area gets the name of the artist José de Guimarães, born in the city, which then deposits a large group of the most important parts of the three collections that has constituted fifty years ago - African Tribal Art, Archaeological Art Chinese and Pre-Columbian Art (Mexico, Peru, Guatemala and Costa Rica) - and works of the artist's own authorship. The Center is composed of 13 exhibition halls, a store, a cafeteria, a conference room and a black box.

-Creative Labs are business support for the reception, installation of activities and incubation of projects related to creative industries, focused on innovation and entrepreneurship, allowing the development of business projects.
-Workshops to Support Emerging Creativity, consisting of workspaces and creative vocation for young creators in various areas of activity, hoping to develop projects on a temporary basis, boosting a contagious creative momentum throughout the Platform of Arts.

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

It provides the city with the effective acquisition of a singular and qualified public space, with dynamic and appealing activities and spaces of socialization and community life.

In addition, the operation extended to adjacent plots, enabling the regeneration of the interior space of the block, which was completely uncharacterized, as a result of its occupation by a marble processing industry.

Finally, the intent to recover the existing building on the eastern side, trying to promote the installation of additional commercial activities that could enhance the creation of a space with a broad scope in regards to multidisciplinary cultural activities.

The whole structure, according to the program, would complement the existing equipment in the city, as well as those which were under development within the European Capital of Culture.

Ecosystem

This pillar of StartUP Portugal’s intervention shall be developed with the purpose of identifying and overcoming sectoral and regional gaps in the acceleration programme, business incubators, fablabs, maker spaces and design factories. It will also strive to increase the international competitiveness of these assets, to promote the sharing of physical resources and know-how, to promote greater professionalization of teams and of the services offered to entrepreneurs and companies being incubated.

Funding
The public financing policies for start-ups will be focused on offering alternatives to bank loans, namely by promoting new methods of financing, such as equity crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending, co-investment with the best national and international investors, bolstering Portugal Ventures’ intervention as the body responsible for public venture capital investment, in strategic sectors for the national economy and in projects at a stage at which the risk is perceived to be too high for private investors and where there is currently a gap in the market. Within this scope, vouchers will be created for start-ups to acquire professional incubation services, and for young people who live in Portugal or abroad who wish to create a start-up in Portugal, regardless of their financial situation, to support the establishment of the most favorable tax regime for the start-ups and to provide job creation incentives.

Internationalisation
In this area, a number of initiatives will be carried out to strengthen the objective to position Portugal as a global destination to attract foreign start-ups, investors, incubators and accelerators, to promote the national ecosystem in the markets, namely by supporting the presence of Portuguese start-ups at the main sectoral trade fairs, at the largest global tech events, in official delegations, in State visits aboard, and State receptions for foreign entities.

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

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

Portugal is a country rich in talent and diversity. The public investments made in the past decade in education, infrastructures and technology pave the way for those wanting to start or invest in a new business. With one of the most vibrant entrepreneurship ecosystems in Europe, Portugal is a top destination to create, test, fail fast and try again.

The strategy intends to strengthen different qualified and creative entrepreneurship levels, through direct support to entrepreneurs, encouraging the emergence of new business opportunities, particularly in creative and innovative fields .

It also includes the activities of cultural and creative industries, which make use of creativity, cultural knowledge and intellectual property, resources to produce tradable and international goods and services with social and cultural significance (such as the performing and visual arts, cultural heritage, crafts, cinema, radio, television, music, publishing, educational software and entertainment and other software and computer services, new media, architecture, design, fashion and advertising).

Thus, this strategy supports individual projects aimed at creating companies that carry out activities in sectors with dynamic and strong growth, including the built-in creative and cultural industries and / or sectors with intensive knowledge or technology.

Different projects and mechanisms are envisaged: Ecosystem - National Incubators Network, National Makers Network, Free Zone – Technology, Simplex for Start-ups and Inclusive and job-oriented Entrepreneurship; Funding - Startup Voucher, Momentum Programme, Incubation Voucher, Seed Programme, Hiring Incentives, New Financing Methods, Calls Portugal Ventures, Co-investment with Business Angels, Co-investment with Venture Capital Firms; Internationalisation - Portuguese start-ups at the largest global tech events, Portuguese start-ups at the main national sectoral trade fairs, Portuguese start-ups at official receptions and State events, Creation of a Portuguese accelerator of reference in Europe, Web Summit.

Within this scope, different instruments and support schemes are being created and planned, such as vouchers for start-ups to acquire professional incubation services, and for young people who live in Portugal or abroad who wish to create a start-up in Portugal, regardless of their financial situation, to support the establishment of the most favorable tax regime for the start-ups and to provide job creation incentives, monthly incentives given to young entrepreneurs, among others.

For this purpose, they are drawing with an evaluative expert in Arts from UK an artistic evaluation model to evaluate the artistic quality of the projects.

For the Program is important to evaluate the social inclusion process as well as the ability of the project for an artistic public presentation. The products that results from the intervention are very important but the emphasis is on the social and artistic process. In what concerns to the artistic evaluation it will be a more qualitative assessment.

Base in the experience of the first edition, in the second edition of the PARTIS was made an initial training about evaluation, specially dedicated to the Theory of Change, in order to define exactly what is expected for each project and which are their goals, so they could not be changed during the implementation process. This training was held for a day with the promoter and partner of each project. In this training were defined the goals of each project, their target groups and how they were standing at the moment.

i.3 Which indicators were used to determine impact?:

PARTIS have defined in its regulation the evaluation criteria for which, each project have to accomplish. Transcribing the PARTIS criteria set on the program Regulation:

a) Planning – establishing a clear and consolidated diagnosis, define goals, identify activities as well as the expected impact of the project in the problems diagnosed;

b) Partnership – in the creation and implementation of the projects, it should be involved more than one organization, setting a partnership whom assures complementarity, resources gathering, a joint responsibility for the actions, in order to facilitate the production of new dynamics (or the strengthening of the existing ones), and assure the sustainability of the actions;

c) Participation – involvement of the direct participants, of the communities and organizations, along the different stages of the project, promoting empowerment and joint responsibility processes;

d) World crossing – promote interactions in spaces and realities that are not common in the daily life of the direct and indirect participants;

e) Social Innovation – presentation of new ideas (products, services or intervention models) that matches with the needs of the participants (in a more effective way than the other alternatives), and, in parallel, with the creation of new social relationships or collaborations among field agents;

f) Accessibility and artistic experimentation – contemplate the possibility to participants access to the most variable artistic practices' through the experience as a public, creation and production;

g) Multidisciplinary' Perspective – promote the crossing between different areas in an integrated and complementary form: social, artistic, education, health, …

Related with the application analysis the Program also defined a set of criteria to better evaluate it. One of the principles of PARTIS is also not to meddle in the solution or the creative process of the projects.

❭ EMERGING TRANSVERSAL ISSUES: Resolution 5.CP 9b

Portuguese-Brazilian Digital Library

Context of the measure:

EMERGING TRANSVERSAL ISSUES: Resolution 5.CP 9b

b. Objetivos clave de la medida:

The design of the Portuguese-Brazilian Digital Library (PBDL) started in 2014, as a result of a partnership between the National Library of Rio de Janeiro and the National Library of Portugal, with the main objective to coordinate efforts and to make available in the same access point all the digital collections of both institutions. It will be a first step to give a new dimension, relevance and visibility online to cultural content from a common language and history.

This is the first time that libraries from Portuguese speaking countries join together to make available their collections and seek to match other global initiatives.

Other objectives are:

- To collaborate actively in the transfer of knowledge in technical areas with a fast pace of evolution, in terms of standards, methodologies and technological resources of digitalization, information management and digital preservation;

- To coordinate activities to avoid digitalization duplication of the same content, in printed publications, optimizing resources; at this point, is highly relevant to Portugal the collaboration offered by the National Library Foundation (Brazil) to help in the mass digitalization of newspapers microfilm, of which BNP has more than 15 million images;

- To extend the collaborative processes to other areas of activity, such as joint production of exhibitions and cultural and technical events, strengthening institutional ties.

c.3. Característica principal de la medida:

The project is a portal which will add automatically information of both national libraries of Brazil and Portugal, whose sum of content reaches more than 2 million documents, more than 60000 titles, corresponding to approximately 13 million images of bibliographic materials in the public domain, from all times and genres. Among them, we can find the first edition of “Os Lusíadas”, by Luís de Camões, from 1572.

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?:

After the entry into regular operation of the portal, it will begin a second phase of expansion, widening to COLUSO participants (Portuguese-Brazilian Committee for Safeguarding and Disseminating Documentary Heritage) and the other entities and projects from Portuguese libraries.

The Portuguese-Brazilian Library collection also includes works from 30 institutions of Portugal and 20 more from Brazil, including Real Gabinete de Leitura (Real Reading Office), founded by Portuguese immigrants in Rio de Janeiro, in 1837.

At this stage, it is predicted also the diversification of PBDL portal in terms of content typology, adding contextualization skills to digital collections, in an editorial area in which, in addition to dissemination of news events, it will be created files, exhibitions, essays, articles, etc. It is expected to attract around from 100000 accesses a month.

For a third phase, from 2016-17, both national libraries intend to extend the perimeter of PBDL to other Portuguese-speaking countries who wish to participate. In this phase it is expected the deepening of organizational structure and technique, and extending training and support services that make possible the cooperation from new participating countries.

Civil Society

Parties

Have you taken initiatives involving civil society in activities to:

Promote the objectives of the convention through awareness raising and other activities:

Yes

Please explain how:

In the last years several initiatives were taken to raise awareness concerning the 2005 Convention and to promote its objectives.

One example was a Colloquium organized in 2015 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Convention. It was prepared with the Lisbon municipality, the Portuguese Coalition for Cultural Diversity and the National Commission for UNESCO and it was held in the Fado Museum (fado is UNESCO Intangible heritage). Several speakers presented their ideas about the Convention, obstacles and challenges to implement it; among them there were the Councilor for Culture of the Lisbon municipality, the President of the Coalition and the President of the National Centre for Culture, one of the “fathers” of the Faro Convention of the Council of Europe, important instrument closely related to the 2005 UNESCO Convention.

Another example was the Conference “The place of Culture: models and challenges for the 21st century” (15.04.2015 – www.olugardacultura.pt) and the Colloquium “Culture and Development” (16.04). Both initiatives were aimed at promoting discussion with different partners (specially civil society) concerning the main challenges for Culture and culture development in the 21st century. The 2005 Convention was one of the pillars of the debate, that brought to Lisbon Enrique Barón Crespo (ex-president of the European Parliament), Tomás Sedlácek (economist) Jonathan Taplin (Director of the Annenberg Innovation Lab), Daniel Innerarity (University of Basque Country), Christian Felber (economist) and Homi K. Bhabha (Harvard University). This 2 days conference was followed, the day after, by a set of conferences discussing sectorial cultural policies, with the objective of deepening priority themes in the various domains of public cultural policies and the presence of culture in Portuguese society development. After these discussions an interesting initiative took place: “Open Doors Journey” (18-22 April). The objective was to encourage public and private institutions to open their facilities.

Please explain how:

Cultural Strategy, Planning and Assessment Bureau, with the collaboration of the National institute for Statistics, have developed an information system to collect data and statistics from the cultural sector.

A Sattellite Account for Culture was also created, allowing the gathering of data related to different cultural sectors and the creation of statistic information accurate and reliable in the cultural sector that had never existed.

These information and initiatives have been shared in different occasions, namely in websites (www.gepac.go.pt, www.ine.pt). Meetings were held to better promote the information exchange: the launch of the Satellite Account and mainly a Workshop in the National Theatre D. Maria II “Knowledge for Growth: understanding and measuring culture’s impacts” (30.01.14 - http://www.gepac.gov.pt/cultura-2020/knowledge-for-growth-understanding-and-measuring-cultures-impacts.aspx). This international event had the presence of representatives from countries where Satellite Accounts for Culture have also been developed and a fruitful exchange of experiences, ideas and best practices was engaged.

During 2013-2014 the government decided to undertake the Culture 2020 set of studies, research on the presence of culture as a factor of cohesion, identity and development of the Portuguese society. Nine studies were developed and the results were published and distributed (paper and Internet- http://www.gepac.gov.pt/cultura-2020.aspx). An important Colloquium for the information sharing was organized in April 2015, with the presence of the main researchers, Marco Mira d’Ercole (OECD), Michaela Saisana (European Commission), Pier Luigo Sacco (Economy of Culture Professor), Luca Bergamo (Culture-Action Europe), Valentina Montalto (KEA).

At a national level another important research was undertaken, concerning the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in order to achieve a state-of-the-art for the cultural sector. This information will enable the development of initiatives and programs for the achievement of the UNSDG in the cultural area.

Provide spaces where ideas of civil societies can be heard and discussed while developing policies:

Yes

Please explain how:

Several spaces were provided to hear and discuss with civil society ideas concerning the development of cultural policies and the role of the 2005 Convention. Some of them were aforementioned: the Conference “The place of Culture: models and challenges for the 21st century”, the Colloquium “Culture and Development”, conferences to discuss sectorial cultural policies, the workshop “Knowledge for Growth: understanding and measuring culture’s impacts”, among others.

At a regional level, the Regional Directorates for Culture (North, Centre, Alentejo and Algarve) have also undertaken several measures and initiatives to promote discussions with civil society, mainly concerning local and regional policies.

Implement Operational Guidelines

Yes

Please explain how:

Even if specific initiatives to implement Operational Guidelines were not taken, all events presented and explained in the previous questions contribute to that objective.

Yes

Please explain how:

We can also refer existing measures to support different initiatives and actions promoted by civil society and to whom public financial support is essential.

The General Directorate for the Arts has different lines for the support of the Arts, the Institute for Cinema and Audiovisual also has different programs to support cinema and audiovisual sector (creation, production, distribution,…).

Important to refer also the financial support provided by the Fundo de Fomento Cultural, a cultural fund which objectives are: to provide financial support to activities of promotion and diffusion from different cultural areas; to finance actions for preservation and valorization of cultural goods; to finance congresses, conferences, meetings, missions and other cultural initiatives, as well as the participation in similar initiatives abroad; to finance national and international promotion of programs and cultural and artistic actions; to finance studies and research in the cultural area; to grant scholarships for cultural actions.

Create innovative partnerships with the public and private sectors and with civil society of other regions of the worlds:

Achievements and Challenges

Describe main results achieved in implementing the Convention:

Probably one of the main achievements of the 2005 Convention was the awareness raising concerning the Convention itself. From an unknown and “one more” UNESCO Convention, it became an important tool for national policy development, national and international cooperation, to foster cultural and artistic areas, to stimulate the CCIs sector, to create a national and international framework where the Convention is central and indispensable reference.

In addition and as a consequence, progressive awareness of the importance of the diversity of cultural expressions and its role in different areas were achieved. How to protect and promote the diversity of cultural expressions in each country? What should be the role of public institutions and civil society? Nothing should be taken for granted; for all countries cultural diversity is essential to safeguard (even survival) of its history, culture, national identity and presence in the world.

Even if sometimes the relationship is difficult, cooperation between public and private institutions, dialogue with civil society has been deepened and improved and often is from that turbulent but well succeeded collaboration that important activities are born, measures are taken, programs are designed and realized.

All over the country Festivals, exhibitions and so many other cultural and artistic events emerge and take shape; discussions around copyright, intellectual property, taxes on cultural goods and services, artists mobility and double taxation, social inclusion, immigration, refugees, and so many other issues are carried out; implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, cooperation development, are in every country’s agenda and Portugal is not as exception.

And the 2005 Convention is always present, it has a role to play in all these issues; it’s in the origin of the discussions but it may also be the solution for many of them. Like all other UNESCO Conventions it has now won its own place and for Partners it’s a fundamental instrument for the design and preparation of a better world.

Challenges encountered or foreseen to implement the Convention :

Challenges are still immense! How to convince those, specially public and political authorities, that the 2005 Convention is an instrument that they must be aware of? How to clarify, to so many people, the distinction between this Convention and the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage? How to explain that diversity of cultural expressions and intangible heritage is not the same thing? How to improve cooperation and close work with civil society? How to surpass suspicion that exists in both sides concerning work with each other?

The list of challenges, doubts and questions is a long one. And that’s why public authorities have an important and decisive role to play in order to find ways, paths that lead to better solutions and results. Work with civil society is crucial. But often both sides or one of them raises problems difficult to resolve. It’s not enough to say that one wants to collaborate, it must happen, it must be done. And this Report is a good example that words and “good” intentions were not enough.

Financing is clearly and unfortunately a major issue. Organizing conferences, promoting meetings, commissioning studies and research, editing reports or comprehensive studies cost money! And studies and research are needed since policies must be based in accurate data, reliable information. And where can money come from when the public debt is huge, financial cuts are enormous and most institutions barely have the resources to keep doors opened and pay the indispensable expenses?

But things are changing and the battles for culture, the cultural and creative industries, the arts, all these for such a long time considered “minor” sectors, is being gradually won. Because studies showed that culture is becoming an important part of GDP, that workers in the cultural sector represent a higher percentage than most people believed, that Culture and Arts (including CCIs) can play an important role in the economy, social and regional development! The challenge is to keep this tendency growing.

Solutions found or envisaged to overcome those challenges:

Awareness raising, information sharing, ideas and best practices exchange! The solutions to overcome the above mentioned challenges (and others) may be of different kinds, but they must include an important space for awareness raising. The share and exchange of information, ideas and best practices must be sought, by public authorities and by civil society. Together they should be the task force to find the best ways to implement the 2005 Convention.

Financing will be crucial and efforts must be made to find new funding opportunities and to make available the necessary resources: sustainable partnerships between public and private entities, sponsorship from national and international companies, new business models, increasing role of municipalities that are becoming a key partner for cultural structures in the areas of creation, production and distribution. But financing also for CCIs, important basis for the diversity of cultural expressions, taking into consideration the process of internationalization of the Portuguese economy and making profit from the tourism (cultural synergies). Training / professionalization in target areas such as ICT, intellectual property rights, project management, audience development are important and it’s necessary to promote skills, develop talents and encourage synergies between the professional classes, boos contacts, co-working.

But even if important work must still be done at a national level, international cooperation cannot be forgotten and is fundamental, not only for the exchange of good practices, the knowledge of other’s experiences, the added value of projects and initiatives developed abroad, but also to help to promote the Convention in other countries, namely Portuguese speaking countries, that have not yet signed or ratified the Convention.

Steps planned for the next 4 years:

As above stated, the program of the current government and the Major Planning Options are clearly the guidelines for the steps planned for the next 4 years. In that framework measures will be designed, programs elaborated, initiatives and activities undertaken, but the background is established, the main principles and guidelines are there and the need now is to implement them.

A new model for Portuguese cooperation has been defined, in line with the objectives of the international agenda for sustainable development policies, focused in areas where Portugal has a real added value to deliver and based in a national, European and international, public and private, co-financing.

Culture is an essential pillar for democracy, national identity, innovation and sustainable development. It is a constitutional right and the improvement of a democratic access to cultural creation and enjoyment is a key priority to the Portuguese government. Culture is also an essential factor of innovation, skills and competitiveness of the economy.

According to these principles, a transversal cultural policy is being promoted, aimed to identify, stimulate and articulate cultural elements in all areas, particularly education, training, employment, regional development, tourism and external trade. Priorities shall be to grant a transversal nature to cultural policy and develop network between central and local administration; educate for a more participated culture; preserve, value and promote tangible and intangible heritage; promote a higher economic valorization of the cultural and artistic activity and launch an investment program for the rehabilitation of historical heritage; value and dignify authors and artists and promote national creators in Portugal and abroad; assure media freedom, as well as freedom of expression and information. This way protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions shall be in the agenda!
