Voices of Culture, as part of the Structured Dialogue between the European Commission and the cultural sector, invites participation from European cultural sector stakeholders on the theme: GENDER EQUALITY: Gender Balance in Cultural and Creative Sectors and to suggest topics for future Structured Dialogue sessions.
