| description | This article aims at systematizing the conceptualizations of the notion of culture by its actual and potential consumers. We treat the understanding of culture as attitude’s cognitive element associated with the practices of cultural participation. The qualitative research undertaken as a part of the European Capital of Culture Wrocław 2016 evaluation has identified four different ways of understanding culture, which refer to its meaning and significance as well as to the manner of cultural participation. We discuss the main factors that differentiate the approach to culture. We conclude by pointing out that an effective policy of increasing cultural participation cannot be limited to creating a cultural offer, but should also shape and promote the inclusive ways of understanding culture. |
