Intercult

Intercult is an independent cultural organisation based in Stockholm, Sweden. We have worked in Sweden and Europe since 1996, as initiator and leader of collaborative culture projects, networks and the development of intercultural and international project competence. We take an active interest in national and European cultural policy. We operate actively in several networks. We share experience through seminars, conferences, lectures and mentorship. We are a Europe Direct Stockholm office, engaging in cultural EU politics and citizen communication. We are a resource centre for culture, working with skills & knowledge sharing. In international projects with activities both in Sweden and in partner countries, socially relevant issues are integrated into management and practice (we do and share) within two main fileds : theater and cultural heritage, and horisontal themes like climate changes & urban development, support of emerging artists, and digital tools for performing arts. The projects create opportunities for artists to participate in a broad range of activities. We believe that: -Artists act as a megaphone for the community and can help to shift agency away from institutions back to the people, who in turn can create meaningful change -Art practice tactics are ‘the acupuncture point’ for the artist to steer, guide and build the conversation between the local community and decision makers. - The interdisciplinary approach and cross-border collaborations can make a stronger impact to local and European communities
