Timisoara, a city in Romania, bolstered by winning a bid through the EU, took on a grand experiment. My guest Silvia Fierascu, a network science researcher among other roles, was a part of that project. In this episode, we explore how political vision, open-mindedness and principles drawn from network science brought community organizations together to strengthen and grow cultural cohesion.

Working with organizations in a city with a population of 300,000, presented an opportunity to galvanize cohesion among cultural organizations that would normally compete for resources.

• Cultural Impact: The focus is on prioritizing cultural development as a driver for economic growth, improving quality of life, and integrating education to cultivate future cultural consumers and producers.
• Institutional Support: The Center for Projects, an institution under the mayor’s office, leads the program implementation.
• Principles vs. Beliefs: Principles, unlike beliefs, can be tested and are used to anchor actions and guide change, fostering collaboration and sustainability within the cultural ecosystem.
• Recognition and Respect: The follow-up plan emphasizes recognizing and respecting the contributions of individuals and organizations, planning together to give meaning and purpose to their efforts.
• Network Analysis: The methodology identifies key actors with significant influence over the ecosystem, fostering trust and collaboration for broader impact.
• Reflection for Growth: A key recommendation is for 2024 to be a year of reflection to learn from experiences, ensuring continuous improvement and sustainability of the cultural initiatives.
• Innovative Financing: Changes in cultural financing legislation made funding more sustainable and transparent, promoting collaboration and accessibility for vulnerable communities.
• Public Debate and Inclusion: Public debates around art and inclusive cultural events were new and significant interventions that fostered community engagement and collaboration among cultural operators.
