Cultural Commission Prättigau

The cultural commission is responsible for promoting culture on behalf of the Prättigau communities. It primarily supports cultural offerings that originate in the region or are supported by people in the Prättigau.

These include:

Events (anniversaries, festivals or similar) with a traditional character.
Cultural products that show the Prättigau in its current distinctive character, whether in the form of media (books, films, music recordings, etc.) or in the form of events (guided tours, exhibitions, theater, concerts, etc.), in short: all cultural products in the sense of the UNESCO definition of culture.

In its broadest sense, culture can be viewed as the totality of the unique spiritual, material, intellectual, and emotional aspects that characterize a society or social group. This includes not only art and literature, but also ways of life, basic human rights, value systems, traditions, and beliefs. - UNESCO, 1982
