Priorities for Cultural Artistic Associations & Minority Groups

This book explored the direction and measures needed for solving the problem of the sustainable development of Cultural Artistic Associations in Kosovo. It gives particular emphasis to the ethnic minority groups. Safeguarding, promotion and maintenance of cultural diversity as a part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage are an essential condition for the sustainable development of Kosovo. These are for the benefit of the present and future generations and for a tolerant society, but at present insufficient resources are provided. The aim of this book was to find out what supporting and safeguarding activities would positively affect the associations development. This will ensure positive growth in the field of cultural heritage both tangible and intangible. It will have a positive impact on the sustainable development of the organizations for years to come. Also it will ensure creation of a more favorable climate and conditions for the work of amateur groups involved in artistic creativity; for better functioning of the CAAs (both amateur and professional); and adequate funding for cultural activities and development of CAAs.
