Creative Europe brings together actions that support Europe’s cultural and creative sectors. The term ‘Cultural and creative sectors’ means all sectors whose activities are based on cultural values or artistic and other individual or collective creative expressions. The activities may include the development, the creation, the production, the dissemination and the preservation of goods and services, which embody cultural, martistic or other creative expressions, as well as education or management, related to these activities.
The sectors include, inter alia, architecture, archives, libraries and museums, artistic crafts, audiovisual (including film, television, video games and multimedia), tangible and intangible cultural heritage, design (including fashion design), festivals, music, literature, performing art (including theatre and dance), books and publishing, radio, and visual arts.
The general objectives of the Programme are:
- to safeguard, develop and promote European cultural and linguistic diversityand heritage;
- to increase the competitiveness and the economic potential of the cultural and creative sectors, in particular the audiovisual sector.
Grants will be awarded to support European cooperation projects in 2022, under the CULTURE sub-programme.
European Cooperation Projects are transnational projects involving cultural and creative organisations from different countries taking part in the programme. They give cultural organisations of all sizes the possibility to co-produce, cooperate, experiment, innovate, be mobile and learn from each other. The action aims to improve access to European culture and creative works and to promote innovation and creativity. Projects can cover one or more cultural and creative sectors and can be interdisciplinary.
