ENCATC Scholar | Issue #6

This issue of /encatcSCHOLAR invites readers to explore the ecology of culture, revealing how cultural value is created through relationships, collaboration, and interconnected systems rather than in isolation. Through research perspectives, case studies, and conference proceedings, the publication examines the importance of community engagement, co-creation, entrepreneurship, and cross-sector collaboration in strengthening cultural ecosystems. It also reflects on the implications of these approaches for cultural policy, governance, and education, highlighting the need to nurture environments where creativity and innovation can flourish. In doing so, the issue presents the ecology of culture as a framework for building more resilient, participatory, and sustainable cultural practices.
