Principale caractéristique de la mesure:

“Creative Latvia” is a medium-term policy planning document, which determines the State cultural policy objectives and priorities up to 2020 and promotes the achievement of the objectives brought forward in the long-term and medium-term State policy planning documents. All national financial investment and EU funding distribution for culture are planned and distributed according to the targets set in “Creative Latvia”. The planning period of “Creative Latvia” begun in 2014 when Riga was the European Capital of Culture, and continued in 2015 when Latvia was the presiding country in Council of the European Union. It also takes into account the importance of the year 2018 when the Republic of Latvia will celebrate its centenary. “Creative Latvia” was drawn up by a working group created by the Ministry of Culture. From methodological point of view, the content is created using both the top-down and the bottom-up approach to the policy planning management: on one hand, the policy objectives and tasks laid down in documents of higher hierarchical level (national level) are integrated in the Guidelines, and on the other hand – the priorities formulated in strategies for sectoral and cross-sectoral development in culture (15 strategies in total), which have been drawn up in co-operation with the sectoral councils of the MoC concurrently with the process of drawing up “Creative Latvia”, are taken into account. Sectoral strategies serve as a resource for detailed planning of implementation of the Guidelines. An innovative factor in preparation of the Guidelines is active participation of the cultural non-governmental sector – Alliance of Culture.
