Culture and Democracies
Advocating for the vital role of culture in strengthening democratic resilience is central to our work.
We champion inclusive dialogue, access to cultural participation as a fundamental right, and the protection of artistic freedom.
Recognising the important role of culture in society, we advocate and form strategic partnerships to reinforce the sustainability of the cultural sector and to integrate cultural considerations into broader national and European policy frameworks.
