Work Programme 2020 and the Work Programme 2021 2020 annual work programme for the implementation of the Creative Europe Programme C(2019) 6151 of 23 August 2019 EN SUMMARY Commission Implementing Decision on the adoption of the 2020 annual work programme for the implementation of the Creative Europe Programme The attached Commission Implementing Decision presents the 2020 annual work programmes on grants and contracts for budget lines 15.0401, 15.04.02 and 09.05.01 under the Creative Europe Programme. It serves as a Financing Decision and allows the Authorizing Officer to publish the Calls presented in the annex and to take the individual award decisions. The Creative Europe Programme consists of two Sub-programmes - the MEDIA Sub-programme supporting the audiovisual sector and the Culture Sub-programme supporting the cultural and creative stakeholders other than audiovisual - and a Cross-sectoral strand supporting the Cultural and Creative Sectors Guarantee Facility, cross-sectoral activities, transnational cooperation and the Creative Europe Desks.

The programme will focus on supporting the policy objectives of the New European Agenda for Culture, the Digital Single Market and the #Digital4Culture strategy. Also, as 2020 will be the last year of the current Creative Europe, the Work Programme aims to pave the way for the implementation of the proposed successor Creative Europe programme (2021-2027). The roll-out of the Programme in 2020 will continue to build on the findings of its mid-term evaluation as well as ongoing feedback from stakeholders as regards the challenges facing the cultural and creative sectors. In this way, the new and emerging challenges can be taken into account in order to better respond to the needs of the cultural and creative operators and of European citizens. Also, the administrative functioning of the supported schemes and actions is continuously monitored and improved in order to ensure cost-efficiency and sound financial management. The specific challenges and priorities of the Media and Culture Sub-programmes for 2020 are presented below. For the MEDIA Sub-programme The guiding principles that have inspired this Work Programme are: i) continuity for actions that have already been restructured in recent WPs in order to allow sufficient time to see the first results of the new modalities; ii) adaptation of certain actions where it is relevant to phase in the renewed priorities of the successor programme; iii) streamlining of the modalities of implementation in order to make efficiency gains and ensure sound financial management. MEDIA actions can be clustered around three areas, reflecting the main challenges facing the industry in the years ahead: Fostering talent and supporting high quality, innovative content. Support to training of audiovisual professionals will be continued, including mentoring with a special focus on women. Development support, which shapes projects at the pre-production stage, is also continued along existing lines but some steps are taken to reduce administration costs. Support to TV is pursued, whilst dialogue with stakeholders is deepened to prepare adaptations of the future programme. Support for the distribution of international co-productions aims to ensure that they may reach the audiences they deserve. EN 3 EN Increasing circulation and cross-border access. The support to selective distribution is focusing on the pan-European distribution of films and the award criteria have been sharpened. Under the automatic support to distribution, a minimum quota for investment in promotion is introduced to ensure promotion of released films. Concerning the promotion of European works online, new support is introduced to promote cross-border collaboration between existing European VOD services. Support to the online Directory of European Films will be strengthened in 2020. The support to cinema networks continues, including new promotion activities such as the European Cinema Night. Strengthening the promotion of European works. Support to film education will focus on projects supporting cross-border collaboration. The support to film festivals includes a new action to incentivise cross-border collaboration and networking. Access to markets will continue to be supported, as will MEDIA Stands which host professionals in key markets. As a cross-cutting priority, MEDIA will drive forward a gender balance action plan, including collecting data, encouraging women film makers and collaborating with stakeholders and international bodies. Also, comprehensive study on the level playing field has been produced which presents options regarding a balanced participation of all member States in MEDIA. The Commission will engage with Member States through dedicated meetings in order to prepare proposals for a revised approach in MEDIA post-2020. For the Culture Sub-programme Following the preparations of the guidelines for the successor programme in 2019, an essential task to be completed in 2020 will be the preparation of the calls, to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2020. In 2020 the Culture Sub-programme will keep addressing the challenge of the low success rate registered for cooperation projects. Thus, the most significant part of the budget will keep supporting the action on cooperation projects. Other existing actions to be supported are: literary translation projects, Networks and Platforms, special actions (EU Prizes), European Capitals of Culture, European Heritage Label, cooperation with international organisations, support to music and Cultural Heritage. In addition to the above-mentioned actions and in line with the priorities of the New Agenda for Culture and as a preparation of the successor programme, two new actions are envisaged: “Circulation of European Performing Arts” and “Sectorial support to the theatre sector”. Experience gathered from implementing the actions and a continuous exchange with project beneficiaries and the cultural sector at large, have led to the following orientations in 2020: 1. Strengthen the capacity of cultural and creative players at European level (support talent, training and skills, internationalisation of careers, audience development). Two calls will be organised for 2019: Cooperation projects and Support for literary translation projects. Cross-border cooperation projects will be opened up to more cultural and creative players by reserving a dedicated envelope for quality small cooperation projects, corresponding to approximately 40% of the total budget for this action. 2. An agenda for Europe based on positive values (cultural diversity, civic engagement and responsibility, public space to engage, international dimension): The organisations in charge of the four EU Prizes (heritage, architecture, music, literature) were renewed in 2018 via new Framework Partnership Agreements, and will continue their implementation in 2020 until end 2020/2021. European Capitals of Culture (ECOC): work will continue, first, to reinforce the performance monitoring of selected cities and, second, to improve the evaluation

  • EU Policy Brief on Food & Cultural Heritage
    EU policy brief on food & cultural heritage 1 with the contribution EU policy brief on food & cultural heritage EXECUTIVE SUMMARY _________________________________________________________________________ Citizens across Europe are paying increasing attention to their food choices, partly out of concern for their health, but also for ethical or sustainability considerations. This trend has been strongly reinforced as a result of the COVID-19 crisis which disrupted food supply chains, but also reminded Europeans of the contribution of food to their physical and mental well-being. In parallel, culture remains a paramount underlying factor influencing citizens’ food choices, and an important link to traditions and cultural representations. However, in an era where global supply chains are standardising the food most easily accessible to consumers, the link between citizens and their food heritage deserves to be better protected. Food heritage can and must play a key role in the shift towards sustainable food production and consumption that is needed to address today’s key societal challenges, such as Europe’s post-pandemic recovery and the fight against climate change, in line with the Commission’s Green Deal commitments. At the same time, food culture must be part of the discussion on the wide- ranging immediate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures implemented to contain it, which are taking a considerable toll on the agriculture and heritage worlds. The links between food and culture are too often overlooked in policy-making although the production and consumption of food are strongly influenced by our cultural environment. In EU policy terms, this translates into a lack of coherence between food, agricultural and cultural policies.

  • Creative Europe Programme 2021-2027
    BRIEFING EU Legislation in Progress 2021-2027 MFF Creative Europe programme 2021-2027 OVERVIEW Having considered the possibility of merging the Creative Europe programme with other programmes supporting European values, rights and justice, the European Commission has decided to continue the Creative Europe programme as a stand-alone programme, increasing its budget by 17 %. The only programme focusing exclusively on cultural and creative activities and enterprises, it falls under the 'Cohesion and values' heading of the 2021-2027 multiannual financial framework. The previous programme focused on the economic dimension of the cultural sector and its contribution to job creation and economic growth. Some stakeholders had voiced concern at taking such a strongly economic approach to culture. Under the new programme, the economic dimension is one axis alongside the social dimension, as well as culture's contribution to international relations. The new framework for cultural policy therefore highlights not only the economic dimension of the cultural and creative sectors, but also the role of culture in social cohesion and its relation to creative and artistic freedom and diversity, and freedom and plurality of media. The Parliament, Council and Commission started trilogue negotiations in autumn 2019. After an almost year-long break, the negotiations resumed in the second half of 2020 when the Council, the Commission and the EP reached a common agreement. The new programme was then finally adopted in May 2021, but applies with retroactive effect

  • Creative Europe Programme Lead DG: EAC Associated Dgs: CNECT I
    Programme Statements DB2021 HEADING 3: Security and citizenship Creative Europe Programme Lead DG: EAC Associated DGs: CNECT I. Overview What the programme is about? With a budget of EUR 1.46 billion, Creative Europe is the European Commission’s framework programme for support to the Europe’s culture and audiovisual sectors. The programme is divided into two sub-programmes, Culture and MEDIA, and is supported by a cross-sectoral strand. Its objectives are to promote cultural and linguistic diversity and enhance the competitiveness of these sectors, by supporting small independent production and distribution companies in the audiovisual field as well as a wide range of operators in the cultural field. The Creative Europe programme contributes to the political priorities of the Commission, in particular relating to jobs, growth and investment and the European Digital Single Market. By allowing participation of non-EU cultural and creative operators, the programme also contributes to making the EU a stronger global actor. At the same time, the programme helps address current political and societal challenges through the power of culture to reach the hearts and minds of citizens and boost confidence in our shared European values. The MEDIA sub-programme provides added value through supporting independent producers and distributors and their audiovisual works (mainly films and TV programmes including live action, animation, fiction and documentaries as well as some video games) in order to ensure that they operate and circulate across Europe and globally, through financial support to the development and creation of audiovisual works, their cross-border distribution, including online, financing of promotional activities and building the skills and talents in the sector.

  • The EU Budget Powering the Recovery Plan for Europe
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 27.5.2020 COM(2020) 442 final COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL, THE COUNCIL, THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS The EU budget powering the recovery plan for Europe EN EN THE EU BUDGET POWERING THE RECOVERY PLAN FOR EUROPE 1. An ambitious and innovative EU budget for European recovery The Commission has set out a bold and comprehensive plan for European recovery1. This plan is based on solidarity and fairness, and deeply rooted in the Union’s shared principles and values. The plan sets out how to kick-start the European economy, boost the green and digital transitions, and make it fairer, more resilient and more sustainable for future generations. The COVID-19 pandemic has touched every corner of the Union and the world. However, the economic and social impacts of the pandemic differ considerably between Member States, as does their ability to absorb the shock and respond to it. This threatens to create damaging divergences between Member State economies and puts the single market under severe strain. Europe needs a coordinated response that is swift, ambitious and targeted where it is needed most. Delivering the recovery plan will require massive public and private investment. Forceful action is required to address these needs to close the overall public and private investment gap of at least EUR 1.5 trillion, to repair the immediate economic and social damage caused by the pandemic and set the Union firmly on the path to a sustainable and resilient recovery2.

  • Open Letter to EU Leaders on Creative Europe
    Creative Europe Programme 2021-2027 Investing in our culture is investing in our future Open letter to EU leaders from Europe’s cultural and creative sectors Dear President of the European Council, Dear Member States representatives, We are writing as a group of 93 organisations from across Europe’s cultural and creative sectors ahead of the European Council discussions on the future EU budget. At this key juncture of the negotiations on a future EU Multi-Financial Framework (2021-2027), we call on you to support the European Parliament’s proposed budget for the Creative Europe Programme 2021-20271, the only EU framework Programme dedicated to cultural and creative sectors. Today, Creative Europe represents a mere 0,15% of the overall EU Budget. This is by no means proportionate to our sectors’ contribution to the EU economy, which stands at €509bn in value added to GDP and over 12 million full-time jobs (7.5 % of the EU’s work force)2. Our culture and our talents support artistic freedom and media pluralism, which are crucial for maintaining open, inclusive and creative societies. Yet, culture is low on the EU’s political agenda, and these sectors remain structurally underfinanced. The financing gap for Europe’s cultural and creative SMEs alone is estimated to be somewhere between €8bn and €13bn3. This is why we welcome the European Parliament's proposal to increase the Creative Europe budget to €2.8bn. We call on the Council to support this much-needed boost to the future of Europe’s arts, culture and heritage, and the values they promote.
