AB  - Background: The background of this research encompasses contemporary cultural policy issues and theirfactors of influence, with a special focus on cultural participation processes. The sphere of culture provides thefundamental base for reading  and  changing  the  paradigmatic  paths through the contents and acts of formal and  informal  stakeholders.  Culture  is  deeply  interlinked  with  other  departments  of  the  entire  economy  by connections with feedback loops. The impacts of culture on the socio-economic and natural environment, as the  "fourth  pillar"  of  sustainable  development,  are  recognized on  the  international  level  by  theory,  expert groups, and practice.  Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to bring about a deeper understanding of participatory processes and their importance for strategic priority areas of cultural policy development.  Study design/methodology/approach:  Our  study  design  included  institutional  analysis,  starting  from  the regulatory  framework  that  reflects  cultural  policy  and  its  strategic  goals,  by  involving  previous  relevanttheoretical  research  including  the  ICET  model.  Another  objective  of  the  paper  is  to  answer  a  range  ofquestions. What are participation processes' main characteristics and challenges in culture and cultural policydevelopment?  Is  there  a  relationship  between  these  challenges? How  to  achieve  desirable  cultural  and institutional integrative transformations in order to accomplish the strategic priority areas of cultural policy? Webring the conclusions based on theoretic and empirical overview of new empirical research findings based on the survey conducted in 2022 for the need of EPICA research project.1Findings/conclusions: The  findings  of  this  research  lead  us  to  recognition,  conceptualization  and understanding of the existing participatory processes in culture, towards inspiring the future modelling of more integrative strategic and systemic solutions to reflect desirable and harmonized development.  Limitations/future research: The limitations of research reflect future endeavour to contribute to reforming the  field  of  culture  (by  formal  and  informal  means)  through  more  robust  horizontal  integration  with  otherdepartments,  to  achieve  sustainable  and  coherent  effects  through  linking  strategies,  new  forms  ofparticipation, decentralization, arm's length principle, and degrowth policy.
