Network for children and culture

In the spring of 2003 the Danish minister for culture appointed a new agency, Network for Children and Culture which is to co-ordinate the tasks within the area of children, culture and the arts and act as the advisory body to the Ministry of Culture.

The Network for Children and Culture consists of representatives from four of the ministry's institutions together with three ministries: the Danish Agency for Libraries and Media, the National Cultural Heritage Agency, the Arts Council, the Danish Film Institute, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Social Welfare.

The network is to ensure that all government grants for children, culture and the arts are spent in the most effective and comprehensive way. The network will encourage cultural institutions to join forces in the great variety of projects on children and culture and help to develop new methods.The networks secretariat is placed in the Danish Agency for Libraries and Media. The Ministry of Culture's webportal on children, culture and the arts boernogkultur.dk will be continued and further developed by the network.
