WHAT IS CULTURE?
"UNESCO defines culture as the set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group, that encompasses, not only art and literature, but lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs"
(UNESCO, 2001)

"Whereas it is not always possible to measure such beliefs and values directly, it is possible to measure associated behaviours and practices. As such, the UNESCO Framework for Cultural Statistics defines culture through the identification and measurement of the behaviours and practices resulting from the beliefs and values of a society or a social group."
(UNESCO, 2009)
WHY?
Developing a Strategic Plan for Culture is a vital, essential part of any application for the title of European Capital of Culture, and should be the starting point of the entire project.



HOW?
​In order to draw up a Strategic Plan for Culture for Faro, a methodological approach was adopted, based on the concept of culture as defined by UNESCO. The concept of culture is provided alongside the recommendation that an analysis be carried out in order to ensure a culture cycle is created, which feeds and recreates continuously. This culturally valuable cycle will be analysed according to the eight steps illustrated in the diagram below:

The Path Travelled

The building of a Strategic Plan for Culture for Faro, involved several key points in which everyone was invited to take part.

October 2019

Beginning of the process of characterising and diagnosing the cultural and creative sector, which included listening to key figures, entities, cultural agents, as well as local citizens.
Information was collected for the diagnoses using documentary and statistical means, individual interviews, themed focus groups and group sessions.

​April 2020

 July/August 2020

August/
​September 2020

October 2020

 January 2021

The information collected in the previous phase began to be structured and analysed aiming to produce an “x-ray” of the current cultural and creative sector in Faro, not forgetting its legacy and history.
​

Draft of Faro’s Strategic Cultural Plan presented and a new public consultation phase begun, conducted through group sessions and online platform.
Analysis of the information collected previously during the public consultations and drawing up a final document.
Strategic Cultural Plan for Faro approved by the Local Authorities, specifically the Town Hall and Municipal Assembly.
