Cultuur Lokaal
The support centre for local cultural policy (in Dutch: Steunpunt voor lokaal cultuurbeleid or simply Cultuur Lokaal) was founded November 7, 2001, within the framework of the decree of July 13, 2001 aiming to stimulate a high quality and comprehensive local cultural policy. This decree of the Flemish Government stimulates municipalities to perform strategic policy planning, supported by a cultural policy co-ordinator, and combines the legislation for culture centres and libraries.
