Cultural Development Strategy of the City of Sombor (2020-2025)

The positive effects of the project Models of Local Cultural Policies as the Basis for Increasing Cultural Participation could be seen already in the following year, 2019, when the Local Administration of Sombor decided to appoint the Center for Study in Cultural Development to create the first strategic document for culture at the local level.

The press conference on the occasion of the creation of the Cultural Development Strategy of the City was held on October 7th, 2019, in the City Hall in Sombor

The Local Administration of Sombor and the Center signed a Contract on Cooperation on the First Strategic Document for Culture in Sombor, which served as the basis for the creation of the Cultural Development Strategy of the City of Sombor (2020-2025). This local strategic document was the first document of this kind in the sphere of cultural policies to be aligned with the Law on the Planning System of the Republic of Serbia.

The Local Administration of Sombor formed a working group consisting of representatives of the Local Administration, local institutions, and civil society organizations, and during the entire process, the Center’s researchers gave professional help to this working group for defining the problems, priorities, and goals of the strategic cultural development in Sombor.
