Closing the Gap advocacy cheat sheet

Closing the Gap is our programme aiming at building bridges between cultural centres and local authorities. It seeks to enhance communication and trust as well as inspire and improve collaboration between these entities, fostering more structured dialogue.

Within Closing the Gap, we organised six roundtable discussions across Europe to facilitate meaningful connections, bringing together diverse stakeholders. These discussions led to the development of a cheat sheet designed to be accessible and practical for use by both socio-cultural centres and local governments. This resource outlines the rationale and benefits of collaboration, along with prompts for reflection, serving as a catalyst for dialogue.

Special thanks to the programme coordinator, the ambassadors, and the roundtable hosts for making this publication possible.

In order to encourage local dissemination, during the course of summer 2024 this document will be translated into several languages: all versions will be available below. If your language is not on the list, don’t hesitate to address a request to Irene at irene.fici@encc.eu.
