Overview

The main specific objectives of the European platform projects are the following:

  • To foster the development of emerging talent and stimulate the transnational mobility of cultural and creative players and circulation of works, with the potential to exert a broad influence on the cultural and creative sectors and to provide for lasting effects.
  • To help increase recognition and visibility of cultural and creative artists and creators with a strong commitment in terms of European programming through communications activities and branding strategy, including, where appropriate, the creation of a European quality label.

In order to achieve the above mentioned objectives, the platform projects shall focus on the following priority activities:

  • Fostering the mobility and the visibility of creators and artists, in particular emerging ones and those lacking international exposure;
  • Stimulating a genuine Europe-wide programming of cultural and artistic activities with the view of facilitating access to non-national European cultural works via international touring, events,exhibitions and festivals, etc.;
  • Implementing a communication and branding strategy, including, where appropriate, the development of a European quality label (or an equivalent recognition activity) to identify and promote the members of the platform having demonstrated a strong and high quality professional commitment towards the objectives of the platform in particular and the objectives of Creative Europe, in general;
  • Contributing to greater audience development through extensive use of information and communication technologies and innovative approaches.
  • Providing visibility to Europe's values and different cultures, thus creating greater awareness about the European Union.
