The European Union is launching the new project ‘EU4Culture’, targeting the cultural and creative sectors in the Eastern Partnership countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine.
The ‘EU4Culture’ project aims to contribute to making culture an engine for growth and social development across the region. Through this project, the EU will support the Eastern Partnership countries in developing the potential of the culture and creative sector, while fostering intercultural dialogue, knowledge sharing, better local governance and economic growth.
Ultimately, the cultural and creative sectors and citizens at large will benefit from effective cultural development strategies. At the same time, artists and cultural professionals from the region will have an opportunity to meet and learn from each other.
On 21 May 2021, the project will has launched the first call for proposals to support the preparation of Cultural Development Strategies targeting non-capital cities and towns in the countries. The call for proposals aims to assist cities and towns to develop and implement a Cultural Development Strategy, following the approach of the European Capitals of Culture. The first step will be the selection of cities or towns in the Eastern Partnership countries, which will further compete for financial support to develop their Cultural Development Strategy. Applications are accepted till 30 June, details at the link.
