Culture Fund(2007-2013)
Support for Cultural Actions provides direct support for European co-operation of projects of varying length and scale, which have at least two of the specific objectives of the Culture programme.
The Culture programme aims to achieve a common cultural area through cultural co-operation between artists, cultural stakeholders and cultural institutions in Europe. It will thus contribute actively to the development of a European identity from the grass roots. In order to reach the European citizens, the EU institutions are using intermediaries, i.e. theatres, museums, professional associations, research centres, universities, cultural institutes, the authorities, etc.
Specific objectives of the Culture programme are:
Supporting transnational mobility of people working in the cultural sector
Encouraging the transnational circulation of works of art and artistic and cultural products
Promoting intercultural dialogue
There are three strands :
1. Support for cultural actions
2. Support for European organisations active in the field of culture
3. Support for analyses and for the collection and dissemination of information in the field of cultural co-operation
