We Support cultural cooperation
We support the arts across Europe by investing in people and projects whose work is innovative and border-crossing. This involves giving young people the chance to make the most of their creativity and have their work displayed and discussed in mainstream media. It means encouraging open artistic exchange, through special collaborative projects and by funding the travel of artists and cultural workers.

We now give grants to individuals AND organisations. These are for truly outstanding initiatives which shed new light on the issues of cultural diversity in Europe. There are also grants which specifically promote collaboration between cultural organisations. More about Grants.
We run an arts project that supports artistic collaboration and a media programme focused on youth and popular culture. We also offer mobility support for artists and cultural workers travelling across Europe and the Mediterranean. More about Programmes.
Our special focus for 2006 to 2008 is cultural diversity.
