Team Europe Story
A coordinated and comprehensive response between the EU and its Member States
Team Europe is a collection of initiatives scaling and focusing joint efforts of the European Union and its 27 Member States, including their implementing agencies and public development banks. Team Europe Initiatives (“TEIs”) focus on identifying critical priorities that constrain development in a given country or region, where a coordinated and coherent effort by “Team Europe” would ensure results with a transformative impact.
A New Approach
The new approach has quickly become the backbone of Global Europe (the main financial tool for EU international cooperation from 2021 to 2027) and its programming. It includes the conception of Team Europe Initiatives, which are the flagships of the Team Europe approach.
Initiatives are open to all participants of Team Europe who are interested in working together on the design, financing and implementation of action to make the best use of European expertise and resources.
TEAM EUROPE IN ARMENIA
The “Resilient Syunik” Team Europe initiative is the joint undertaking of the European Union, the European Investment Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, EU Member states – Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, and Switzerland also joining as an external partner. The plan helps the local area develop in a way that stays sustainable and strong for a long time. The initiative is a flexible mechanism, it may be further expanded and is open for member states to join with new initiatives to promote the development of the Syunik region, which is top priority for the EU.
Europe and Armenia have shared cultural bonds. The EU’s strategy for supporting International Cultural Relations in Armenia has several key goals. It aims to promote sustainable development, encourage intercultural dialogue, and protect cultural heritage. The strategy also seeks to combat trafficking in cultural goods. Furthermore, it aims to strengthen diplomatic ties by sharing cultural experiences and supporting artists and cultural organisations. These initiatives help to enhance connections between the people of the EU and Armenia.
