On Wednesday, October 14th, the annual Culture Forum took place in the Ten Aerenkorf hall in Achterbos, attended by 135 participants. Cultural associations received valuable information on various current topics, including subsidy opportunities and the digital operations of their organizations. The event also provided a platform for exchanging experiences and making new connections.
During the forum, two crucial themes were highlighted: digitalization within associations and available subsidies. Reactions to both topics were predominantly positive. Regarding 'digitalization,' it became apparent that the level of technological adoption varied significantly among associations. Some participants were just beginning their exploration of artificial intelligence, making the discussion challenging at times, while others were impressed by the technological possibilities.
Concerning subsidies for cultural associations, it was noted that many organizations are not yet fully aware of all existing funding sources. Attendees also received a preview of the Landjuweel Festival 2027 and other planned activities for that year.
The forum's presentations are available for those who wish to review the information. Following the substantive program, there was an opportunity for networking, where associations could share experiences, ask questions, and establish contacts. The organization thanked the 135 participants for their presence and contribution to a successful evening, and wished the Mol cultural associations much success.
Further information regarding culture and the cultural council is available through the contact details of the culture department and the cultural council.
