In response to the need identified at the Arterial Conference for local experts on cultural policy, a two-day seminar is being planned for 20-25 delegates (including Steering Committee members) prior to the Steering Committee meeting in Nairobi. The seminar will take place on 25 and 26 November 2009. It is intended that each region will be represented by 2-3 delegates to this seminar that will deal in greater depth with international, regional and national cultural policy instruments.



One aim of the seminar is to develop Arterial Network positions on particular cultural policy matters and a second aim is to develop experts who can represent civil society perspectives on such matters in local and global forums.

Individuals who have an interest in cultural policy, who are prepared to participate in regular reading groups, on-line discussions and preparation of documents, are invited to apply to attend this seminar. Please forward your name, resume and a motivation of no more than one page as to how you could add value and/or benefit from such a cultural policy seminar. These are to be sent through the mail contact form by Friday 30 October 2009.
