The aim of the debate under the specific title New cultural centres in Europe, is to establish, within a framework of the 5th Private initiative and the public sector in cultural management conference, a forum on the value and importance of cultural centres in the modern world.

Today, cultural centres are faced with a number of challenges as regards both supply and demand, and management and funding. The main objectives of the conference are to analyse those fields related to the value of cultural facilities and their relationship with different dimensions of cultural and territorial management, highlighting the following aspects:

a) The new cultural centres of the 21st century, from historical perspective
b) Cultural centres as transformers of cities. Architecture and cultural centres
c) New cultural facilities linked to social participation: as vehicles for awareness raising and re-politisation
d) The analysis of new target publics for cultural centres
e) Management formulas for cultural centres. The experience of private management
f) Quality programming in centres: urban culture, multicultural aspects, education, etc.
g) Territorial impact / local development

The Xabide Group, Cultural Management and Global Communications aims to make the 2006 conference as event of even greater quality and scope, by considering it an International Conference on Cultural Management and inviting key European speakers from Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, London, Valencia, Newcastle, Karlsruhe, Barcelona, Pamplona, Dundee, Oporto, Dortmund and Helsinki to participate in order to share some of the most important experiences and novelties regarding cultural facilities on the continent.
