Culture Action Europe’s new campaign calls on EU leaders to place culture at the heart of public policy.
Culture contributes to the EU’s three main priorities: democracy, competitiveness, and security. However, to help culture help Europe, we need to Ask, Pay, and Trust the Artist.
- Ask for our expertise: Artists and cultural professionals should be part of every policy discussion bringing their creativity and innovative approaches to the table.
- Pay for our labour: Ensure decent working conditions and fair remuneration for the use of our intellectual property. Invest in culture to help build a more resilient Europe.
- Trust our process: Embrace the unpredictability of the arts – we deliver results, even if we don’t always tick every box.
The European cultural sector proposes strengthening culture’s contribution to the EU’s priorities through an action plan with nine concrete steps.
