Our Policy Dialogues are sessions in which contexts and issues at the interface of national and European cultural policy are negotiated and discussed. This year, we are focussing on the topics of democracy and the shift to the right, streaming, club culture and the role of music in local political decision-making processes. Therefore, we are happy to welcome another round of high quality speakers!
