"Environmental scanning both on local and global level in a strongly changing world is a challenging task for researchers also when thinking about the future meaning and role of culture. Cultural competence is an ability to perceive the environment, to be active in it, to create it and to respond to the changes of it. The competence covers both internal abilities of individuals and external cultural and societal impacts. What in our environments is culturally changing, creative and innovative, what is culturally stable, solid and safe? How can we analyze and conceptualize the changes in our cultural environment with all its nuances?

We are calling You to present a paper on the changes of concrete phenomena and changes of cultural environments, like on the ways of conceptualize these phenomena and changes on theoretical level."
