The Deputy Ministry of Culture announces the launch of the Cultural Decentralisation Programme, which will start in July and will run until November. The programme includes events related to Visual Arts, Contemporary Dance, Theatre and Music.
The Programme aims to promote and implement quality cultural activities in communities in Cyprus. In particular, the implementation of the Cultural Decentralisation Programme aims to promote, cultivate and disseminate culture and provide opportunities for participation and creativity to as many Municipalities and Communities as possible. At the same time, it aims to encourage the mobility of artists and other cultural professionals and the promotion of their artistic work throughout Cyprus.
