Creative Europe brings together actions that support Europe’s cultural and creative sectors – all those whose activities are based on cultural values or artistic and other individual or collective creative expressions. Activities may include the development, creation, production, dissemination and preservation of goods and services containing cultural, artistic or other creative expressions, as well as education or management related to these activities.
Sectors include, but are not limited to, architecture, archives, libraries and museums, arts and crafts, audiovisual (including film, television, video games and multimedia), tangible and intangible cultural heritage, design (including fashion design), festivals, music, literature, performing arts (including theatre and dance), books and publishing, radio and visual arts.
The general objectives of the programme are:
- to protect, develop and promote Europe’s cultural and linguistic diversity and heritage;
- to increase the competitiveness and economic potential of the cultural and linguistic heritage and of the cultural and linguistic creative sectors, in particular the audiovisual sector.
Grants will be awarded to support European networks of festivals in 2022, under the MEDIA sub-programme.
The Networks of European festivals shall provide support to coordinated/collaborative activities among European audiovisual festivals aiming at increasing audiences’ interest in non-national European audiovisual content and promoting its circulation and visibility.

- Reinforce cooperation among European audiovisual festivals members of a Network screening a significant proportion of non-national European films and audiovisual works through coordinated/collaborative activities targeted to expand and renew audiences;
- Increase the impact of European audiovisual festivals aiming to reinforce promotion, distribution and circulation of non-national European films and audiovisual works to growing audiences across Europe;
- Foster exchange of knowledge and best-practice models for cooperation among festivals through coordinated/collaborative activities targeted to expand and renew audiences. Harness the digital transformation, including developing and updating online tools and data applications.

- Coordinated and collaborative activities aiming to expand audience development and interest for European films and audiovisual works.
- Coordination of the network members and activities relating to its sustainable structured development (e.g. collaborative events; sharing of know-how and information; communication among members).
- Coordinated and collaborative activities promoting sustainable and environmentally responsible practices.
