But at Intercult, we know the truth: Culture is the yeast that makes the bread rise.<\/p>\n<p>In the Nordic countries, culture has always been more than just entertainment; it is the &#8220;glue&#8221; that holds our society together. Now, we are taking that Nordic perspective to the heart of Europe. By joining forces with Culture Action Europe, we are advocating for culture to be recognized as a supranational force for resilience.<\/p>\n<p>What are we fighting for?<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 Culture as the 4th Pillar: You can\u2019t have a &#8220;green transition&#8221; without a shift in values. Culture is the foundation of sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 Democratic Shield: Protecting artistic freedom from political interference by elevating cultural policy to the European level.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 Social Infrastructure: Making sure libraries, local arts, and creative spaces are seen as essential for our mental health and security.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 The #Culture2030Goal: It\u2019s time for a standalone Sustainable Development Goal for Culture!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We believe that a sustainable future isn&#8217;t just about technical fixes but it\u2019s about the stories we tell and the identities we share.<\/p>\n<p>Follow our progress here and at Culture Action Europe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intercult is joining the Culture Action Europe (CAE) campaign as part of the Nordic Hub!
