In Latvia, a proposal has been made to create a special foundation to improve the management and accessibility of cultural services in the Latgale region. This initiative is championed by the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development, the Rēzekne municipality, and concert organizations, including the Latvian Concerts. The plan outlines the necessity for each founding participant to contribute financially to the foundation, ensuring a collaborative approach to cultural management. Additionally, the created foundation's council would consist of representatives from the five founding entities, tasked with oversight and advisory functions.

The proposal was presented on Wednesday during a session of the Saeima's Human Rights and Public Affairs Committee, as well as at a meeting of coalition parties responsible for government formation. It emphasizes a shared responsibility among all five entities for providing professional and diverse cultural services to residents of the Latgale region. Decisions regarding the foundation's operations would be made collectively at participants' meetings, promoting greater accountability and engagement among the stakeholders.

This initiative reflects ongoing efforts to enhance cultural access and services in the region, responding to the needs of the local population and fostering collaboration among various public and private sectors for the benefit of the community. As the proposal moves forward, it could lead to significant improvements in cultural programming and resources available to the inhabitants of Latgale.
