Europe for Culture – Culture for Europe

The Joint Declaration "Europe for Culture – Culture for Europe" sends a strong political signal that culture is a strategic asset for Europe’s democracy, competitiveness and resilience: Media: independent, diverse and competitive media are recognised as essential for democracy and Europe's resilience. Good to see culture and media discussed as investments. Diversity: Europe's cultural and linguistic diversity is our competitive advantage. Copyright: creators deserve transparency, protection and fair remuneration, especially as AI continues to reshape the creative landscape.

A European global cultural powerhouse is built on talent, and it requires strong cultural rights, collaboration, and a commitment to ensuring that both creators and citizens are at the heart of Europe’s cultural future. We have some work ahead.
