    CULTURE REPORT EUNIC YEARBOOK 2011 CULTURE REPORT EUNIC YEARBOOK 2011 Cultural relations are the glue that holds alliances together. The geopolitics of the 21st century mean we need to see a revival of cultural diplomacy. China and India are already expanding their external cultural policies. Despite Europe‘s huge cultural diversity, the EU has still not developed an adequate cultural strategy for its foreign policy. The establishment of the European External Action Service (EEAS) provides an opportunity to tighten up and co-ordinate the EU‘s existing cultural foreign policy. In this edition of the Culture Report, 30 authors from 20 different countries examine what this all means.

  • European Spaces of Culture
    Co-funded by EUROPEAN SPACES OF CULTURE Frequently Asked Questions Call for Ideas 2021: what’s new? Increased project budget Phase 1 of the Preparatory Action (2019-2021) included a project budget of EUR 350,000, which could fund ten ideas and five pilot projects only. The new Call for Ideas has a budget of EUR 500,000 and aims to support around ten pilot projects. Number of projects more flexible Phase 1 of the Preparatory Action set out from the start to support ten ideas and five pilot projects. In the new Call, the selection will be made with more flexibility and be based on the amounts requested by the best ideas and projects. Mobility scheme The new Call for Ideas includes a dedicated budget for a new Mobility Scheme. The Call will be open to small mobility grants for prospective project partners, especially those with a focus on transnational and transregional projects, before submitting their idea. Mobility grants will be open to EUNIC members. More local partners required This Call has raised the minimum of key local cultural partners to three. Partners can be civil society organisations as well as public bodies. Exception possible when there are no 3 EUNIC members A minimum of three EUNIC members is still required with one of them administering the application. However, exceptions can be made in countries with limited EUNIC capacity and presence. In such cases it must be made clear why the threshold of 3 EUNIC members is impossible to achieve. Selection based on scores In the previous Call for Ideas, only the selection in the second step of the Call was made based on maximum scores per criterion.

  • New Directions in Cultural Diplomacy
    This is an advance copy of an essay to be published in 2010 by Real Instituto Elcano, Madrid, in a collection entitled “Cultura y Proyección Exterior: Nuevos Valores y Estrategias de Acción”. It is not to be reproduced or circulated without the approval of the author. New Directions Steve Green1 William Gibson’s frequently quoted statement “the future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed”, applies to cultural diplomacy. The new directions promise to usher in a transformation of cultural diplomacy. They will add new strands of activity, lead to a re-assessment of existing ways of operating and introduce new items to the cultural diplomacy toolkit. This essay surveys the new directions in global cultural diplomacy. A standard difficulty in surveys is the lack of an agreed terminology. Is the field to be referred to as “cultural diplomacy”, “cultural PR”, “public diplomacy”, “nation branding”? Different countries, different organizations, different authors use the terms almost interchangeably. This essay uses “cultural diplomacy” and returns to the terminology issue in its final section. It will be useful to start with a set of opening parameters in mind. Rod Fisher has a seven point list of the principal objectives of a country’s foreign cultural policy. They are: • to promote cultural diplomacy • to develop cultural relations • to support the export of a nation’s cultural products and creative industries • to underpin the development of beneficial new trading arrangements • to attract tourism and perhaps inward investment • to enhance programme aid in developing countries and • To create an informed and primarily favourable picture of a country to the “outside world”.2 1 Steve Green is Team Leader for the EUNIC presidency.

The question, however, remains as to what extent this report- ed scepticism truly reflects people’s opinions and feelings about Europe. We all consider it normal to cross borders within Europe, often while using the same money, as well as to take part in exchange programmes, invest in enterprises across Europe and appeal to European institutions if national regulations, for example, do not meet our expectations.

  • Claiming a Front Row Seat for Music
    Claiming a front row seat for Music “Music is at the centre of the well-being of our spirit, of our body and mind. It’s not only entertainment, it’s more than that!” Angélique Kidjo in her keynote at the 2021 European Forum on Music After more than 15 months of lockdowns, and hardly any concerts, festivals, collective singing, band or orchestra practice, clubbing and music education in or out of schools, the music sector in Europe and the world is at risk of turning into a stigmatised sector where only very few forms will survive. “In addition to the current health and economic crises, humanity faces nothing less than a potential global “cultural catastrophe”, with severe, long-lasting consequences for cultural rights – and other human rights – if necessary action is not taken immediately by all relevant actors. Karima Benoune, UN Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights We enjoy the recent re-opening of many parts of the music life and we hope that societies can start to recover from this unexpected pandemic. We welcome the “EU’s guidelines for the safe resumption of activities in the cultural and creative sector”1 and we can confirm that the music sector has always put health and safety first and will continue to do so. Nevertheless, infection rates may go up again, and therefore, we turn to you today with the request to take into account the societal relevance of the music sector in your political actions. We are grateful for the diverse and rapid support that the EU and national governments have provided as a reaction to the crisis.2 Now comes the time to think long-term and to fully acknowledge the artistic, social and economic value of the music sector.

  • Activity Report Summary 2019
    FACE – Annual Activity Report 2019 SUMMARY 2019 INTRODUCTION In July 2018, after 5 year of activities, on the occasion of the Assembly General Meeting in Gent (Belgium), members decided to validate the (r)evolution of the organisation and to take the time to review its focuses and fields/types of intervention in order to reposition it in today’s European cultural landscape, assess its activities and develop its sustainability. Members agreed 2019 should be an “année blanche”, a year without the usual activities proposed. Following the fruitful discussions, FACE decided to continue to deliver some activities, especially the ones the network already committed to towards different partners. The international association contributed to several capacity building programmes focusing on the internationalization of professional practices, on initiating formal and informal transnational collaboration. Finally, taking on board the first outcomes of the thorough analysis led during the “année blanche”, FACE joined forces with colleague European organisations to develop an Erasmus+ “strategic partnership” project. ACTIVITIES MEETINGS • 22-25 May 2019: General meeting of On the Move @ Arts and Theatre Institute in Prague (Czech Republic) • 15 October 2019: General meeting @ Kaaitheater, Brussels (Belgium) on the occasion of the workshop i-Portunus dedicated to the presentation of the preliminary study of this pilot European mobility scheme for artists and culture professionals. 14 WORKSHOPS & SEMINARS – 400+ PARTICIPANTS • 10-13 February 2019: Annual
