Special issue - coaching cities and regions for better cultural policy making Since October 2016, ten cities and regions have been selected to benefit from expert coaching on their current challenges. The aim is to support them to achieve better local cultural policies. These ten cities and regions have welcomed teams of experts and city peers for in-depth meetings and discussions about local issues and obstacles in implementing policies and actions. Coaches provided host cities and regions with concrete proposals, methodologies, tools and tips tailor made to fit their local contexts. The coaching process has been rated as very valuable by each of the ten host cities. Coaches helped hosts prioritize their goals and actions, and guided them on how to best identify the right stakeholders to engage with. The visit by an international team also allowed the host to broaden their perspective and sometimes to change the way of working inside the administration itself. Examples from other cities (from cities’ peers) or other projects on which coaches had worked offered inspiration and knowledge for new local projects. Host cities and regions saw the coaching visit as an opportunity to create a platform and basis for future work and cooperation between local authorities and different administrative levels or with local and regional stakeholders. You can read the conclusions from the coaching visits in Loulé, Lublin, Kalamata, Oulu and Belfast further below, as well as impressions from coaches. Happy reading!
