The plan outlines Region Östergötland’s strategic objectives for cultural development over a four-year period. The plan is structured around three main strategic goals: broadening participation and increasing dissemination, enhancing artistic development and quality, and harnessing the power and value of culture in societal development.
Cultural heritage is integral to achieving these strategic objectives. By broadening participation, the plan aims to make cultural heritage accessible to a wider audience, fostering inclusivity and engagement across diverse communities. Enhancing artistic development involves integrating traditional cultural expressions with contemporary practices, ensuring that heritage remains a living and evolving aspect of the region’s cultural landscape. Furthermore, the plan emphasises the role of cultural heritage in societal development. By leveraging historical assets and traditions, Region Östergötland seeks to strengthen regional identity and social cohesion.
