The Cultural Dialogue China / EUNIC brings together intellectuals, cultural practitioners and cultural policy makers from Europe and China to strengthen cultural cooperation within creative industries and develop people-to-people relations. The tradition of organizing Cultural Dialogue China / EUNIC reaches back to the year 2008, when the very first of the meetings took place in Beijing, China.
The 2nd and 3rd editions of the Dialogue followed in 2009 and 2010, in Copenhagen and Shanghai respectively. The 4th edition was held in Luxembourg in October 2011 while the 5th Dialogue was held in Xi'an, China.
The 6th edition of the EU-China Cultural Dialogue takes place in Bucharest and is hosted by the Romanian Cultural Institute.
Title : PUBLIC SPACES – EU and China sharing perspectives - an exploration on the value of well designed public spaces and the role of artists in making a good public space in Europe and China and how they can contribute to well-being in the cities
Introduction Urbanization is the defining trend of the 21st century. In 1950, one-third of the world’s population lived in cities. By 2030, it is predicted that 75 percent of the world’s population will be living in cities.
It is widely recognized that there are four pillars of sustainability (economic, social, environmental and cultural) and that the creation of high-quality public spaces can have a meaningful impact and play a major role in vitality and well-being of urban centers (be they large or small).
Overall objectives of 6DThe general aim of the EU-Chinese Cultural Dialogues is to extend the existing cultural relations and the bilateral exchange activities into a long-term cultural dialogue on important topics of cultural cooperation between Europe and China.
6D Specific objectivesShifting from sharing information between two representative institutions (CNAA and EUNIC) and following the wider opening to more partners, bringing new formats and enabling artistic exchanges and best practices sharing, the 6D specific topic of Public spaces was identified. The 6D aims also to contextualize with ‘EU-China Partnership on Sustainable Urbanisation’ – the initiative launched by European Commission in 2012.
The EUNIC 6D event proposes an opportunity to get an overview on the importance of Public Space from a European and Chinese perspective, examining trends, outlining potential challenges and opportunities in the design, management and the use of public space.
