CALL OBJECTIVES
- Objective 1 – Transnational creativity and circulation: Strengthening transnational creativity and circulation of European works and artists.
Transnational creativity and circulation are essential to advance cooperation, increase outreach and, in many cases, sustainability and the development of cultural organisations, institutions and individuals. Co-production is a tool to stimulate creativity, share resources and facilitate the transnational distribution of content and mobility of artists. Projects should take into account the new context, such as health or environmental challenges, and integrate innovative (digital) ways of creating and disseminating content.
- Objective 2 – Innovation: Increasing the capacity of the European cultural and creative sectors to develop talent, innovate, prosper and create jobs and economic growth.
Projects corresponding to this objective should focus on capacity building, which can be technological and/or artistic in nature. This may include the development and testing of new practices or models, as well as the transfer and dissemination of innovative practices.
Areas of innovation may include a social or social dimension, such as: Inclusion and audience development, gender equality, inclusion of persons with disabilities, persons belonging to minorities and socially marginalised groups, fight against climate change, digitalisation, etc. Culture can also contribute to health and well-being, especially mental health, taking into account existing evidence and the persistent mental health crisis that particularly affects young people.
