Arts and culture, from folk traditions, amateur arts, to professional creatives and artists, contribute to the cohesion of the country in many different levels. Both through cultural policies at a macro-level, to local and individual initiatives, culture is essential in promoting welfare, education, plurality, and innovation. Through the “Cultural Participation” and “Social Cohesion” streams from the Culture Dispatch, the intrinsic value of arts and culture in social making is attested. Through structures such as the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia, cultural projects are supported that promote, stimulate and address contemporary, socially relevant issues.
