Themes

Theme pages describe policy themes and topics of interest to the entire cultural sector.

What are themes?

The Culture Monitor's theme pages cover topics that are not only relevant to one cultural domain but are important for the entire cultural sector. Theme pages put developments into perspective and facilitate the discovery of cross-domain links.

In contrast to domain pages, theme pages have a freer form. Depending on the theme in question, the pages take the form of, for example, a data story, analysis or literature review. In the future, new themes will be added to the Culture Monitor and existing theme pages will be updated.

Themes

The Professional Practice theme page features information on the composition of the cultural labour market. The consequences of the Covid pandemic are examined for this group as a whole, in addition to considering differences per domain.

The Digital Transformation page provides a quantitative inventory of data available to gain insight into how digital transformation is changing the cultural sector and the various domains within it.

On this theme page, we explore research on Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the Dutch cultural sector: what issues are there and what makes monitoring complex?

The climate crisis and sustainability are increasingly important themes. This data story describes how the cultural sector is working on sustainability, what role the climate crisis plays in the work of creators, and what the consequences of climate change may be for the sector.

Where are the most venues, libraries, cinemas or museums located? To what extent is culture visited? The theme page describes (developments in) cultural offer, participation and money flows at the provincial level.

This theme page shows trends in attendance and participation and is an invitation to explore more cultural statistics in the Dashboard of the Culture Monitor.
