Detmold has a rich and diverse cultural life, supported by many dedicated professionals and volunteers. Their experience, ideas, and knowledge are valuable to the city’s culture. Networking offers great opportunities to promote the exchange of experiences and ideas, and to strengthen culture overall. Through collaboration, new, innovative ideas can be developed, and synergies can be used. Networking also facilitates the coordination and communication of cultural offerings, making it easier for the public to get an overview and increasing Detmold’s attractiveness as a cultural city.
Objective
A central goal for politics, administration, and cultural actors in Detmold is to strengthen networking within the cultural landscape. To do this, existing knowledge and networking opportunities should be better captured and made visible. This will create the foundation for stronger networking. The city administration aims to offer regular, easily accessible networking opportunities, while cultural actors themselves must actively participate. The goal is to better coordinate cultural offerings and shape public relations together to reach a wider audience.
Ideas for Actions
To strengthen the networking and cooperation of cultural actors, the following action ideas have been developed:
- Establishing a regular “Future Table for Culture” for exchange and the further development of cultural planning.
- Holding regular networking events, such as a cultural conference, a cultural roundtable, and a “Cultural Chat” for institutions.
- Developing a digital platform for exchange and to capture space needs, which should also utilize existing solutions.
- Improving the visibility of cultural offerings by using existing digital solutions.
- Developing a “Cultural Guideline” to strengthen Detmold’s cultural landscape and integrate it into the city’s marketing strategy.
