2023 Cultural Deal for Europe policy conversation

On 28 February 2023 Culture Action Europe, the European Cultural Foundation and Europa Nostra (also in its capacity as coordinator of the European Heritage Alliance) are presenting the “Cultural Deal for Europe policy conversation: Culture is the new energy for Europe” online.

The European Parliament elections 2024 are approaching, preceded in 2023 by the mid-term review of the Multi-Annual Financial Framework (MFF), which might add extra resources to the EU’s budget for the second half of the financial cycle to tackle the era of poly-crisis.

Culture needs to be at the core of both debates, and strategically associated in the collective effort ahead of the major democratic exercise in Europe. Culture is a fundamental value for democracy and it is everyone’s duty to imagine the future place and role of culture and cultural heritage in Europe.

In the frame of the Cultural Deal for Europe campaign, Culture Action Europe, the European Cultural Foundation and Europa Nostra have just released Our Vision for a Culture Deal: Until 2024 and Beyond, which puts forward 8 proposals to put culture centre stage in EU’s policies.

On 28 February, representatives from the 3 partner organisations will discuss these proposals with the members of the European Parliament representing various political groups. Everyone is invited to follow the event live online and take part in an open and democratic conversation between the European policy-makers and the cultural ecosystem.

The deadline to register is 27 February 2023.
