The Warsaw Forum was a conversation about audiences, the arts and democracy hosted by the City of Warsaw in September 2018. An invitation-only event, The Warsaw Forum gathered together researchers, cultural practitioners, activists, policy-makers, and decision makers representing different cultural disciplines from across the EU and further afield. The event was the result of collaboration on a number of European projects by different organisations, which now form the Steering Committee, and which collectively brought time, energy and experience to bear in bringing this event to fruition.

The present report represents an extract of the conversations had at the Warsaw Forum. The report is structured in 4 chapters, corresponding to the four themes of the forum: ‘Is the role of culture in society changing?’, ‘How do we understand the politics of cultural authority when thinking about audiences and public engagement?’, ‘What will cultural democracy mean in the C21st/next 10 years?’ and ‘What is the role of cultural policymakers in widening participation and promoting cultural democracy?’.

You can read the final report of the forum here:

There are many important ways that nonprofit organizations can leverage the potential to collaborate, but one powerful strategy that is too often overlooked is to form a long-term, durable partnership through a strategic alliance or restructuring. Strategic partnerships can open whole new worlds of opportunity for serving your mission. They can broaden your reach, expand the range of your programs or services, and help you find more efficient ways to support your organization’s important work. 

This resource is a discussion guide for boards about these topics with cases studies.
