Structured dialogue in the field of culture

closed

The New European Agenda for Culture, COM(2018)287, adopted by the Commission on 22.5.2018, proposes a new overarching framework for EU policy collaboration on culture, building on the 2007 European Agenda. Under the New Agenda, the Commission “proposes to broaden the current structured dialogue, going beyond topics examined under the Open Method of Coordination, making more of online collaboration opportunities, and opening up to relevant organisations outside cultural and creative sectors on a case-by-case basis. It will also propose a more active role for civil society in preparing the biennial European Culture Forums”. The objectives are to strengthen the advocacy capacity of the cultural sector in policy debate at European level; allow a regular exchange of views and a structured dialogue between the Commission and Civil Society stakeholders in the field of culture; contribute to and inform about policy developments in the field of culture at European level.
