Supporting Culture in the Digital Age

This report explores trends, challenges and responses that affect the cultural value chain and its main actors; it also acknowledges the need to develop well-calibrated strategies that place people at the centre of our thinking and consider the whole cultural ecosystem. It identifies a recurring set of themes that could inform how public agencies – in different contexts worldwide, with varied opportunities, challenges and barriers – might approach supporting culture in the digital age. The extended version of the report for National Members of the Federation also includes further insights into the experiences of public agencies, as well a series of recommendations to consider when designing national digital culture plans, based on insights from successful case studies and international best practice.
