Culture Matters! In times of crisis, such as the present, art and culture take on special significance. They offer space for our need for social cohesion, emotional expression and exchange. But cultural achievements are not only relevant in times of crisis. The SDC's Culture Network, in collaboration with the author François Matarasso, has produced ten reflection papers that highlight the role and potential of art and culture in various areas of international cooperation. They are the basis for a discussion and learning process that will help us to orient and implement our cultural commitment. It is with great pleasure that we present these well-founded reflections, collected in the booklet Reflection Papers on Culture and Development.

Read the reflection papers on the Shareweb Culture Matters or on the FDFA Publication page.
