Mapping Cultural Actors beyond Europe - More Europe has launched a 2019 study into Global cultural relations and cooperation. A survey is open (just 4 questions!) to map organisations and initiatives involved in international cultural relations outside Europe. Asia is one of the target regions - please contribute by 22 February.

More Europe is conducting an in-depth review of cultural organisations and operators outside Europe. Two experts have been commissioned to map actors engaged in international cultural relations and cooperation, and research their practices.

ABOUT MORE EUROPE

Modern diplomacy requires the development of new thinking and skills to face global challenges and changing societies. A new European approach towards external relations, based on the promotion of fundamental values, two-way dialogue, and the recognition of the role of civil society is urgently needed.

MORE EUROPE - external cultural relations is a cultural civil initiative, composed of a public-private partnership of foundations, civil society networks and national cultural institutes, whose objective is to convince politicians and policy-makers to place cultural relations – one of the strongest assets that Europe has - in the heart of the EU’s external affairs.
