10th Danube Conference on Culture at the Museum of the Vojvodina in Novi Sad

CULTURE FOR ALL – The Danube as a Cultural Bridge


The 10th Danube Conference on Culture at the Museum of the Vojvodina in Novi Sad between 23 and 25 April 2023 brought together creatives, experts and decision-makers from across the Danube Region to connect the diverse cultural sector of the region. The aim was to discuss open and accessible cultural work. Against this background, the motto of the conference was "CULTURE FOR ALL - The Danube as a Cultural Bridge". The conference was a great success with approx 130 participants, important speakers and cultural events.

The general objectives of the Danube Conferences on Culture were:

  • To inspire cultural operators and artists coming from the Danube region
  • To encourage partnerships and cooperation
  • To offer practical examples and space for discussions around the conference themes
  • To develop problem-solution thinking in the field of culture

The main topics of the Conference 2023 were:

  1. Culture everywhere (old and new, formal and informal spaces for culture)
  2. New technologies in culture (AI, VR, digital, virtual, future concepts…)
  3. Culture for all (old and new target groups, audience development)
  4. Sustainable culture (environmental aspects, resilience questions, the legacy of projects, festivals…)
