“Creative Europe is a key element in the success of European independent companies not only in their respective territories, but as well in the rest of Europe and the world (…) The institution is pro-active in creating positive cooperation between different countries and therefore in the creation of the European industry as an entity (as opposed to the accumulation of national industries). Which seems the only way our culture can resist the globalisation of economics and contents.”

SAFEGUARDING CULTURAL DIVERSITY, STRENGTHENING COMPETITIVENESS

Creative Europe support has two interlinked general objectives: to safeguard cultural and linguistic diversity and strengthen the competitiveness of the cultural and creative sectors. European film and cultural expression reflect and represent the diversity of Europe while also showcasing commonalities. The quality and unique variety are recognised across the world. They help bring people together by strengthening mutual understanding of our differences whilst feeding a sense of shared European identity. At the international level, the programme also contributes to EU public diplomacy.

At the same time, especially in the case of the cultural and creative sectors, economically robust companies and organisations are needed to face global competition for investment and for audiences. Creative Europe’s contribution to meeting these objectives can be indicatively measured in a number of ways, as explained in the following pages.
