Draft program prepared by the Balkankult Foundation
August-October 2011 Youkobo Art Space
Youkobo sent out a survey to 160 different residence programs across the world which we felt may correspond with the term “Microresidence”. The intention of this survey was to gain an insight into the range of small scale independent residence programs being facilitated world wide, the kind of support they offer to artists, the emphasis of their programs, their organization and vision towards a proposed “microresidence network”.
On 10 November 2011 a panel discussion was held on the topic Folk culture and cultural policy of Serbia in the National Theater in Belgrade. The roundtable was organized as part of project The preservation of folk heritage and cultural policy of Serbia, implemented by the associates of the Balkankult Foundation for the purposes of the Ministry of Culture.
The following topics were discussed:
• Overall situation of folk culture in Serbia
• Review of the system of institutions dealing with the protection and preservation of folk culture and exploring possibilities to improve it
• Political discourse
• Preservation and/or development
• Sector or inter-sector approach – does Serbia have a special cultural policy in this area?
• How to maintain viability of folk culture
• Folk culture and education system
• Amateurism and/or professionalism
• Management issues
• Industrialization of folk culture (creative industries/sectors)
• How to establish links between heritage and economic potentials of tourism, food and drinks industry, festival culture?
• How do private and independent initiatives function – review of various successful experiences and examples
• Priorities that can be realistically achieved?
• Stimulation tools: tax policy, subsidies and other incentives.
• International legal instruments
The discussions were fruitful and constructive. Observations, comments and proposals advanced by participants will be presented in the research materials.

The symposium took place under the patronage of the Bavarian Minister President Horst Seehofer from October 20-22 in Regensburg, Germany.
