Culture and social cohesion in Valais
The canton of Valais is launching the "Culture and Social Cohesion" funding instrument, which is the result of a collaboration between the Department of Culture and the Department of Social Affairs.
The "Culture and social cohesion" funding instrument aims to strengthen synergies between culture, social and health services by placing culture at the service of inclusion and social cohesion. It supports "innovative projects that promote active participation in cultural activities and strengthen social cohesion at the same time".
The first part of the funding instrument is aimed at so-called transversal projects. It supports innovative cultural initiatives that strengthen social inclusion and dialog between cultures. The second strand, "Inclusion in culture", supports the transformation of cultural structures in Valais towards greater inclusion and representation. Funding is provided for projects that are supported by cultural institutions in partnership with actors from the social or healthcare sectors.
