The document underscores the synergies and differences relating to the analysis of the museums’ missions and to the shared expectations of museums and municipalities. An international conference organized by ENCATC in Brussels on December 10th 2010 which brought together over 100 participants also provided the opportunity to review and debate the contributions received and to consolidate the audience’s concrete proposals andbest practices into the drafting of the White Paper.

This book is a series of interviews with social theorists and scholars, philanthropists, scientists, theologians, artists, community development and community arts activists. Several recent books, including The Great Turning by David Korten, and A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink, have made the argument that a new way of organizing our relationships to each other and to nature will be necessary in the coming years. The subjects, some 30 in all, were all asked to comment on this eventuality and to provide their perceptions of what role that artists and arts organisations should play in contributing to a more just and sustainable society.
