Culturelink was established by UNESCO and the Council of Europe in 1989 with the aim of strengthening communication between networks, institutions and professionals in the field of culture throughout the world. Culturelink has accompanied the turbulent history in this part of Europe over the past twenty years. Its role and work have been fundamental. Cultural action and cultural cooperation have always preceded formal political processes, and professional bodies like Culturelink have made important contributions to integration processes, as former socialist and communist countries joined the Council of Europe one by one after 1989.
At a time when the Council of Europe had adequate financial resources, the organization was able to support 44 regular issues of the Culturelink Review and 12 Culturelink Special Issues between 1990 and 2004. Culturelink’s policy research, publications and events offer an important source of information for the 49 signatories to the Council of Europe’s European Cultural Convention, and to the discussions between these 49 European states at the annual meeting of the Steering Committee for Culture of the Council of Europe.
There are many experts that Culturelink and the Council of Europe have worked with and who remain actively involved in projects. Just one example is the Council of Europe’s ambitious programme of National Cultural Policy Reviews. Culturelink has become a partner, along with several other cultural organizations and networks, in a new initiative of the Council of Europe called CultureWatchEurope. CultureWatchEurope is not another institute or complicated structure, but a new integrated platform for information and exchange. It brings together various online tools used to monitor cultural policy, heritage policy and audiovisual and media policy. CultureWatchEurope also offers a platform for a more dynamic interaction between governments and civil society, and will be especially important in the way critical issues and problems can be passed to and discussed with governments. CultureWatchEurope also offers a space for prospective analysis of cultural themes of European significanc
