Cultural Co-operation

Cultural Co-operation (CC) was a London-based arts and education charity. It was formed in 1987 in order to promote intercultural contact, dialogue and understanding. It did this through a programme of not-for-profit public activities that encouraged learning about and participation in the world’s diverse cultural heritage. The organisation has now (2017) been rebranded as Culture& with a focus on work-based training for the Arts and Heritage

Activities

The programme comprised 5 activity strands:

  1. A Festival showcase (FS): the Music Village Festival, a free admission summer event that creates a safe and welcoming public “contact zone” for learning and about and celebrating world cultures.
  2. An Artist Network (AN): this encourages cross-community creative collaborations between creative practitioners of diverse national and faith origin now living in London; it additionally provides network members with professional support to connect them and other excluded artists to one another and to the mainstream.
  3. A year-round Education & Training Programme (E&T): this offers immersive learning in arts, heritage and citizenship skills in schools, museums & the workplace
  4. Dialogue & Debate (D&D): seminars and conferences to generate understanding and trust between people of different national descent and/or religious belief through structured engagement with complex intercultural and interfaith issues.
  5. Policy & Consultancy (P&C): that provides professional advice to official bodies, mainstream organisations and community groups in the form of analysis, reflection and insight into our diverse origins, distinctive world views and common values.

gollark: You also can't really reverse transactions in a cryptocurrency, but that could be seen as a good thing.
gollark: Governments probably wouldn't unless they're being really experimental for some reason, yes, since unless they make themselves the only issuers they can't muck with the money supply all the time.
gollark: Proof of work is wildly wasteful, proof of stake is just built-in inequality, and I don't know of any saner ways.
gollark: My main problem with cryptocurrencies is the fact that they end up needing to replicate unreasonably large amounts of data everywhere, and allocation of coins is a hard problem without any reasonably good solutions.
