Synergies between public policies and programmes

The collaboration of institutions and organizations is generally linked to strategic and conceptual documents or laws and coordination structures are designed to put these strategies/conceptions into practice.

In the field of culture and art:

• Inter-ministerial working group for the monitoring and implementation of the Strategy of Creative Industry Development in Slovak Republic,
• there are representatives from 9 ministries, the Industrial Property Office of the Slovak Republic and the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic.

On 22 July 2020, the Government of the Slovak Republic, as the Administrator of the Program "Business in the Field of Culture, Cultural Heritage and Cultural Cooperation", implemented within the EEA Financial Mechanism for 2014-2021, decided to award a grant in the grant scheme CLT02. The call was launched on 26 July 2019 and was aimed at supporting projects related to capacity building of cultural actors, audience building and development in the field of contemporary art and culture, as well as to support bilateral exchanges in the field of contemporary art. The CLT02 small grant scheme call was closed on 31 December 2019 and a total of 35 project applications were submitted for a total of € 6,074,596. Nine projects will be supported under the € 1,500,000 call and all nine projects will be implemented in partnership with a donor project partner from Norway and / or Iceland. 

Partnerships between the culture and creative sectors, youth organisations and youth workers

There are no programs, policies or initiatives of national authorities fostering partnership among culture and creative sectors, youth organizations and youth workers. 

ICP (8.2.) Kolaboratórium project: Despite open borders and reduced language barriers, the Slovak culture remains isolated and unrecognised in the European area. The project is an attempt to specify cooperation with more successful partners. The project is focused on the essential conditions for promotion of personalities and cultural fields in the European cultural area.
