Expected Impact
The action aims at having a transformative impact on the cultural landscape by fostering cross-border partnerships that invigorate the exchange of ideas and techniques, significantly enriching the sector. It should magnify the global presence of European art, ensuring its appreciation and access worldwide, thus broadening its impact. By facilitating collaboration among diverse organizations, the action should spark innovation, enabling the development and widespread dissemination of cutting-edge practices that enhance the competitiveness of the European cultural sector. This transnational cooperation should open new avenues for professionals, boosting their skills and fostering career growth and ensuring that cultural and creative sectors remain vibrant and resilient.
Objective
European Cooperation Projects are transnational projects involving organisations in the cultural and creative sectors from different countries taking part in the programme. They give cultural organisations of all sizes, including micro-organisations and small-sized organisations, the possibility to co-produce, cooperate, experiment, innovate, be mobile and learn from each other. The action aims to improve access to European culture and creative works and to promote innovation and creativity. Projects can cover one or more cultural and creative sectors and can be interdisciplinary.
