EUROPEAN NETWORKS

Being involved in European cultural networks gives UK organisations access to European conversations and provides valuable opportunities to meet peers and potential partners to collaborate with.

Many cultural networks are supported by Creative Europe through the European Networks funding strand. These networks aim to support their members to better operate transnationally, build their capacity to work across Europe and adapt to change. Networks encourage linguistic and cultural diversity, strengthen competitiveness, and promote skill sharing and good practice among members.

All of the 28 pan-European Networks currently supported by Creative Europe have UK members, demonstrating the UK’s connections and knowledge sharing across artforms, from performing arts (IETM) to music (Jazz Network) and the Network of European Museum Organisations (NEMO).

Take a look at our website for a list of networks, many of which are supported by Creative Europe: www.creativeeuropeuk.eu/european-networks

“Amateo is managed by a group of professionals working in the voluntary arts which are based across Europe, including the UK and Ireland. For the UK based partners and team members being part of Amateo and the ArtsTake Part project has been a wonderful opportunity to develop our skills, make new contacts and partnerships across Europe and participate in collaborative projects, This applies not only to staff but to the local people that those organisations work with in the UK.”
