WHAT IS CREATIVE EUROPE?

Running from 2014 to 2020 and with a budget of €1.46 billion, Creative Europe offers support to European projects with the potential to travel, reach new audiences and share skills and best practice.

The MEDIA subprogramme supports film, television, new media and video games. It offers funding, training and networking opportunities for producers, video game developers, distributors, sales agents, audiovisual training providers, organisers of festivals, markets and networks, film education specialists and cinema exhibitors. The Culture sub-programme supports the cultural and creative sectors by funding collaborative projects and initiatives across all art forms in order to drive innovation, development of practice and participation across fields such as visual art, dance, theatre, literature, performance, music, heritage, architecture, design, circus, festivals, craft and fashion. There is also support for publishers to translate European fiction. The cross-sector strand offers support for the creative sector as a whole, including a €121 million Cultural and Creative Sector Guarantee Fund, which aims to unlock €600 million in affordable loans from the private sector.
