The “Policy or Culture” Online Conference is a collaborative effort between the Israel Democracy Institute and the Department for Cultural Studies—Creativity and Production at Sapir Academic College. The conference’s objectives are to create a space for academic and professional discussion combining local and international knowledge and experience, and to position cultural policy at the heart of the Israeli academic and professional discourse as an urgent and important topic motivated by the desire to impact the way in which professionals in the culture sector and the Israeli public at large perceive cultural policy. Conference participants include leading experts, researchers, and professionals representing a wide range of views on the field of cultural policy.
