Volunteers at the Heart of Culture:
Culture, Civil Society and Volunteerism in Europe

Round Table, Newcastle, 2nd - 4th November 2001

CIRCLE and VAN (Voluntary Arts Network, UK) organised a European Round Table in Newcastle, United Kingdom in November 2001. The preliminary objectives for this conference were to:

  1. Establish the nature of and extent of volunteerism in the arts in the UK and internationally;
  2. Determine the extent to which volunteerism in the arts contributes to democratic processes and civil society by engendering participatory activity;
  3. Examine whether there are lessons that can be shared with/learned from practice in other countries.

A conference report is currently being edited and will be available shortly.
