Since September 2020 – as a result of the Summer of Solidarity project, developed with the support of the European Cultural Foundation – Collective envisioned multiple ways to continue the work we have done, funnelling it into a new project that will still retain the same core value: to encourage collaboration and connectedness in the European media sphere, as well as foster solidarity, curiosity and sharing across the continent.

They are of the conviction “the self-portrait of Europe is to a degree already being written, illustrated, filmed and photographed.” But they also believe young media-makers and new media formats get left behind. So, they are convinced “it is time for a new kind of media within the European media landscape.”

It is time for a new kind of media within the European media landscape. Collective curates the best under reported stories from around Europe, adding a personal touch. Curators at Collective will be “that friend” you turn to for everything from food in the Balkans to new tech in Berlin. From newsletters to podcasts to videos and beyond, Collective brings you the right stories, right where you want them. Collective leverages a cross national, diversity-driven network of curators and creators dedicated to building up personalised reader engagement.

The kick-off output will take the form of a small collection of curated newsletters. This will be merged with Collective's own original audio and video content. The first newsletter could be a general weekly roundup of the best storytelling in Europe, but will later become thematic with each issue revolving around one of the following topics:

● Art, Music & Culture

● Inclusive Society

● Nature, Health & Science

● Urbanism, Ruralism

● Money & Power
