EU’s outermost regions can benefit from many new opportunities for support under EU policies to help them shape, implement and fund their tailored regional development strategies. The permanent constrains faced by outermost regions and their specificities is recognised in Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which provides for specific measures to support the outermost regions, including specific provisions applicable to outermost regions in EU competitive programmes. In its renewed Strategy for the EU’s outermost regions, the European Commission committed to support their capacity to participate in EU competitive programmes. In this context, the European Commission is organising a series of 7 virtual workshops to provide tailored information on the opportunities and specific provisions for the outermost regions under various EU programmes [1].
The Creative Europe programme will be presented to EU outermost regions in an online workshop taking place on 30 November 2023 from 14:00 to 17:00 CET.
The cultural and creative sectors in EU outermost regions have great economic and job creation potentials. Outermost regions contribute to the cultural diversity of the EU and play an important role in promoting exchanges of, including through mobility, and cooperation with people and organisations from third countries, in particular from their neighbouring countries.
The Creative Europe programme is the EU’s flagship programme to support the culture and audiovisual sectors. It invests in actions that reinforce cultural diversity and respond to the needs and challenges of the cultural and creative sectors. The programme includes specific provisions for the outermost regions.
This workshop will focus on:
- presenting the Creative Europe programme and its opportunities for the EU Outermost Regions
- providing recommendations on application procedures
- sharing experiences from past beneficiaries
- dedicating time for questions and answers
We look forward to welcoming you to this event!
