Lublin 2016 – Appendix - Kultura Enter

and freely available, arranged thematically and tailored to target groups - is a prerequisite for the
awakening of potential “consumers’” interest in the cultural offer. This system should be open to
all operators and organizers of cultural, social and sports events, etc., and allow efficient scheduling.
It should also facilitate access to information in general and the purchase of event tickets in
several much frequented city locations (stations, airport, city centre, shopping centres). The on-line
support for this system should coincide with traditional solutions, expanding the availability of
information and facilitating the use of the offer.
4.3 To offer child care in cultural establishments - to enable parents of small children to participate
in culture; child care may occur simultaneously with artistic education of children.
4.4 To provide support to impecunious persons wishing to participate in culture, or deserving
assistance for other reasons - this objective will address, besides promoting free cultural offer, a
ticket subsidy scheme, or reimbursements for other charges related to participation in culture. In
addition to public support (limited by law), it is possible to launch or develop private sponsorship.
4.5 To facilitate access to culture to persons and groups from outside Lublin - this objective aims
to synch bus timetables with cultural events for audiences from the region and from locations within
three hours’ drive from Lublin. It will also apply to organized trips, tourist stays, conferences
and symposia that would include cultural events in their programmes and itineraries. What
follows, foreign language tourist information and signage should also be put in place.
4.6 To eliminate architectural barriers in cultural sites, historic buildings and sports and recreational
facilities.
4.7 To develop a system of tourist information - including the information signs and signage indicating
ways of access to historical and cultural locations and public toilets, as well as guides and
printed material about historic monuments (including multimedia). This system should not overlook
multilingual media and Internet communication and promotion of Lublin outside the city.
Cultural Development
Strategy
5. Cultural governance
this area needs urgent improvements. The existing management structures established for much less
extensive cultural activity have spared no effort in recent years to handle this constantly growing scope
of responsibilities. In order to implement the programming and operational objectives, it is mandatory
to pioneer more efficient methods of cultural management, capable of supporting more cultural
operators and culture participants. This will entail the simplification of procedures in culture organization
undertaken by such operators. Openness and transparency of governance are mandatory in socializing
participation in culture and developing civic attitudes. Besides the governance ideas described
below, due to the evolving management quality standards, it will be necessary to gradually integrate
cultural governance with other “sectors” such as education, restoration and revitalisation of historic
sites, development of green areas, sport and recreation, urban ecology and regional policy. All these
provinces of human activity are interdependent and together determine the quality of life in the city.
The operational objectives set out in this area are:
5.1 To ensure comprehensive monitoring and evaluation of cultural phenomena - this goal will be
pursued by the Lublin Cultural Observatory (Pol. LOK) established under an agreement between
the municipal authorities and local universities as an independent research structure; it will guarantee
an objective approach and reliability of gathered data, as well as sharing expert opinions
with all entities involved in cultural management; in parallel, the LOK will be developing its original
cultural research methodology (2.5), as appropriate. The establishment of the LOK with a
well-devised research programme will ensure adequate monitoring of the progress, implementation
and impact of ECC 2016 for at least 10 years, with the option of tracking relevant outcomes
in the short, medium and long term. One of the LOK’s tasks will be to propose programmes and
