Project title
Description of initiative
EU's flagship programme supporting the culture and audiovisual sectors. It has 3 main strands: Culture (covers cultural and creative sectors with the exception of the audiovisual sector), Media (covers the audiovisual sector) and the Cross-sectoral strand (actions across all cultural and creative sectors). The dual objective of the Programme was to safeguard cultural and linguistic diversity and strengthen the competitiveness of the European cultural and creative sectors. The programme encouraged organisations to cooperate across disciplines and borders, as well as to develop new practices and innovations to reinforce the competitiveness and the resilience of the cultural and creative sectors. The programme funded a significant amount of projects addressing the connection between arts and culture and well-being or health (see the programme results platfom : https://culture.ec.europa.eu/creative-europe/projects/search).
