April 2018 6. Kulturpolitische Jahrestagung der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Kulturpolitik im Welt(en)Wandel Zusammenhalt und Teilhabe in einer vielfältigen Welt Dokumentation Vorwort Was ist die Aufgabe von Kultur in einer Zeit drastischer politischer und kultu- reller Umbrüche? In einer Zeit, geprägt von wachsender sozialer Ungleichheit, zunehmendem Populismus und gegenseitiger Abschottung sind wir heraus- gefordert, diese Frage neu zu beantworten. Kunst und Kultur können Vielfalt sichtbar machen, Respekt und Toleranz ein- fordern, Grenzen überwinden und Wandlungsprozesse mitgestalten. Und wie ist eine Kulturpolitik zu gestalten, die Kunst und Kultur Freiräume gewährt und Strukturen zu ihrer Stärkung bereitstellt? Welche Weichenstel- lungen sind hier nötig? Diese und andere Fragen diskutierten am 20./21. April 2018 Akteur_innen der Kulturpolitik, Kulturschaffende aus allen Sparten und Verbandsvertreter_innen im Rahmen der 6. Kulturpolitischen Jahrestagung der Friedrich-Ebert- Stif tung. Wir können zurückblicken auf zwei Tage mit spannenden Impulsen und De- batten mit über 80 Referent_innen und über 200 Teilnehmenden. Am ersten Tag diskutierten wir den Wandel der Kultur- und Kreativbereiche und fragten, welche Instrumente der Kulturpolitik vonnöten sind.

    CONF/PRES/SPEECH(2021)2 End of mandate speech by Anna Rurka, President of the Conference of INGOs, at the meeting of the General Assembly of the Conference of INGOs on 28 April 2021 In 2015, when I was elected for my first term, I had a vision of a Conference of INGOs which knew how to analyse, conceive the future and act. A Conference with the courage to express opposing arguments and see the complexity where others saw complications, a Conference armed with proposals, intelligent in its diversity and respectful towards, what all public policies in the world have as a target: human beings. These two terms have been more than I could have imagined and projected in 2015. Human life, this is clearly what stands out after 6 years of my mandate : as an absolute value, as a guideline, a horizon, but also as the very concrete reality principle, which connects the Conference of INGOs and the Council of Europe to the field. It is through commitment to an individual’s life or by helping save them from oppressed situations that I understand that my function and action have meaning and can produce a real change in the life of the persons. For this to happen, I had a strong conviction, I believed deeply and strongly, even if no one believed anymore, because the failures and bad news are piling up. My meetings and connections with rights defenders who are not afraid to risk their lives for the freedom of all, marked my life forever. Thank you so much for that.
