Cultural diversity and openness – central to the new Lublin 2020 Strategy
The city is currently holding consultations on the 2020 City Development Strategy which is based on the premise that “Lublin accepts, fosters and takes advantage of cultural diversity”.
One of the main fields of action is the fostering of cultural openness: “Cultural openness can be considered as a specific type of communication infrastructure which reduced the existence of subjective distance. [In terms of city policy] it is linked to the establishment of international relations but is also an element of soft power. In purely interpersonal terms, it fosters an atmosphere of acceptance of those who are different because of their origin, language, culture, life preferences and habits. Cultural openness should penetrate all activities associated with Lublin’s international relations”.
