Institute for Cultural Policy

Since 1996, the Association for Cultural Politics has maintained an Institute for Cultural Policy. This institute, which was set up in response to the opportunity afforded by the compensatory measures carried out for the Bonn region, represents an intensification of the association’s research work. As a result, in recent years, various projects have been implemented with financial support from Federal and Land authorities; and these projects have been devoted primarily to the connection between culture and migration. One key area has been the question of how art and culture can help to promote the process of social integration of people with immigrant backgrounds and also how it can stimulate inter-cultural discourse in the first place. Issues of both development policy and the sustainability of socio-political processes have played a significant role here. Key findings of this research can be found on the association’s website.
