CULTURAL RELATIONS PLATFORM

The Cultural Relations Platform is an EU-funded project that connects cultural practitioners worldwide for dialogue, exchange and co-operation. It also provides expertise to the European Union (EU) in the field of international cultural relations. It is designed and available only for the EU delegations.

The Platform is implemented by the Goethe-Institut Brussels, in partnership with the European Cultural Foundation; the International Network for Contemporary Performing Arts and the University of Siena.

The Cultural Relations Platform:

  • Develops research into the cultural and creative sectors in countries around the world
  • Facilitates co-operation and networking between cultural practitioners within and outside the EU including cultural organisations, private foundations and the civil society sector
  • Provides advice and expertise to EU institutions and EU delegations all over the world
  • Strengthens the capacity of cultural practitioners globally to deliver international cultural relations, through local conferences, workshops and training, and its Global Cultural Relations Programme

Each year, the Cultural Relations Platform launches a call “Promoting support and cooperation in cultural and creative sectors enhances innovation, preserves heritage, and drives economic growth”.
