Art and culture in progress - highlights on cultural work from a labor and social law perspective - mica

2023-11-06 08:00:00

The Vienna Chamber of Labor, together with the Austrian Cultural Council, invites you to a panel discussion in the AK Education Building on November 15, 2023 (Theresianumgasse 16-18, 1040 Wien) on the subject “Art and culture in progress – Highlights on cultural work from a labor and social law perspective.”

A society without art and culture is unthinkable, but the working conditions of those who make these important contributions are often precarious and poorly paid. Improvements are urgently needed here. The Vienna Chamber of Labor would therefore like to work together with the Austrian Cultural Council illuminate the current problem areas of work in art and culture using six subject areas – from unemployment benefits to self-employment, from health insurance to equal treatment – and develop common perspectives on them. We will debate the problem areas in a panel discussion with top-class experts and would also like to exchange ideas with you.
