Second round Culture of Solidarity Fund open

 
We invite you to apply for the second round of the European Culture of Solidarity Fund. Set up at the beginning of the pandemic crisis, the fund continues to support imaginative cultural initiatives that reinforce European solidarity and the idea of Europe as a shared public space. The second window opened on June 22nd and will close on July 14th, 13:00 CET PM. Find all application details including criteria here.

In a Q & A session - hosted on Facebook - the team behind the open call of our Culture of Solidarity fund will be present to answer any question on the fund and its workings. More information here.

Summer of solidarity

Summer of Solidarity, the first pop-up continent-wide, European, collaborative, storytelling media initiative has officially been launched. All during summer, it presents human stories from across wider Europe. Read their selected and commissioned ‘slow’ journalism here

Culture Lab Europe

Culture Lab Europe - the new online and offline space where working together and generating solidarity is what matters - is almost over. We organized the Lab together with Krytyka Polityczna, Rijeka 2020 and ZEMOS98. You may catch some glimpses of the work done by fifty participants via the dedicated blog. And via this webpage

Cultural Creative Spaces and Cities

We teamed up with the University of Antwerp, l’Asilo and Boekman Foundation in organising the digital co-creation lab “Commons Sense”. It was part of our broader involvement within the Cultural Creative Spaces and Cities project. Please find all resources here, and stay tuned for more! 
The work of the European Cultural Foundation is about communication between people, about creating exchange and experiences that foster the feeling of belonging together and promoting a European sentiment. Read more on our programmes, activities, publications and more of the last year in our 2019 Annual Report. 

Culture of Solidarity webcare sessions

 
After a hiatus of a few weeks, we’ll be returning with our webcare sessions: open online sessions where we reach out to our communities by giving them the floor. On July 17th we welcome journalist Daniel Trilling - contributor to our Lost in Media publication - for a conversation on Europe, Corona and borders. See our events page for a full list.

Other stories of Europe

“There is no real recovery of Europe without culture.” We teamed up with Culture Action Europe to map emergency initiatives and measures carried out across Europe that address the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on culture, arts, creative sectors. Read on. The mapping is a follow up to our joint call to the EU to uphold the budget for culture in the new MFF.

The Citizens Take Over Europe coalition invites citizens and civil society organisations to discuss the political urgency for the future of Europe, and invite you to sign their call for a citizens-centred Conference on the Future of Europe. 

Our friends of Netwerk Democratie recently presented the manifesto on the future of Europe and democracy by their Parliament of the Future to EU Commissioner Suica. Download the manifesto here.
