Promoting an inclusive and diverse cultural landscape in Detmold is a central goal of the city administration and cultural practitioners. Barriers are to be removed, and an open cultural offering for everyone is to be created. The focus is particularly on promoting diversity, participation, and the opening of public cultural spaces to make Detmold a place where different cultural perspectives and offerings can come together harmoniously.
Objective
The city administration and cultural actors want everyone in Detmold to experience and help shape cultural life. People should be actively invited to participate. The goal is for cultural actors to share their knowledge about accessible and inviting offerings, as well as participatory development of offerings. Additionally, the knowledge about diversity, openness, and participation should be expanded. Cultural actors, external experts, and target groups should engage in discussions with each other. An investigation will be conducted to identify those who currently do not use cultural offerings and how these people can be better reached.
Another goal is to spark the interest of Detmold’s population in various cultures and their offerings. The city administration supports the exchange and investigation of topics such as diversity and participation. They also aim to remove barriers in public cultural spaces.
Ideas for Actions
To strengthen diversity, openness, and participation in the culture of Detmold, several measures have been developed:
- Conducting an Analysis: It will be examined who uses cultural offerings and who does not. Reasons, expectations, and key multipliers will be identified. The analysis could also be carried out as part of citizen participation.
- Removing Barriers: It will be investigated what obstacles prevent people from participating in cultural offerings, and actions will be taken to remove these barriers.
- Increasing Open Cultural Offerings in Public Spaces: More open cultural offerings will be created that are accessible to everyone.
- Organizing Information Events: Cultural actors will be informed about how to approach new target groups to make their offerings more successful.
- Making Cultural Offerings More Visible: Measures will be developed to make the diversity of cultural offeringsin the city better known.
