Published by the Council of Europe, the study “Making culture accessible” was officially launched in May 2010. The author, Annamari Laaksonen, researcher on cultural rights and project coordinator at Interarts, asserts that the enjoyment and fulfilment of the right to participate in culture requires an enabling environment and a legal framework that offers a solid basis for the protection of rights related to cultural actions. According to Laaksonen, a society that demonstrates an interest in nurturing cultural and spiritual needs in conditions of liberty has a greater chance of developing a sense of social responsibility among its members. This study is a general overview of existing legal and policy frameworks in Europe, covering access to and participation in cultural life, cultural provision and cultural rights. The study is available online at the following link.
