Creative Europe Programme | 2021-2027

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 Programme encourages inclusion, equality, diversity and participation, which, where appropriate, shall be achieved through specific incentives that: (a) ensure that people with disabilities, people belonging to minorities and people belonging to socially marginalised groups have access to the cultural and creative sectors and that encourage their active participation in those sectors, including in both the creative process and audience development; and (b) foster gender equality, in particular as a driver of creativity, economic growth and innovation. The Programme encompasses the fundamental role of European culture and media in citizens’ well-being and in empowering them to take informed decisions.
