Describe the main features of the policy/measure:
Creative Europe is the European Union's framework programme for support to the cultural and creative sectors. The programme is structured around two independent sub-programmes for Culture (described here), Media (described under Goal 1.2 – Media Diversity), and a cross sectoral strand (described below).
The Programme is complementary to actions at national level in the field of culture and the audiovisual sector, reflecting the policy priorities the EU is following in the cultural and creative field.
Creative Europe is open to cultural and creative organisations from EU Member States, as well as, under certain conditions, to some non-EU Member States. During the reporting period, Creative Europe included 33 participating countries, from Norway to Tunisia, from Ukraine to the Balkan region. Participation in the MEDIA programme is subject to alignment with Directive 2010/13/EU (Audiovisual Media Services Directive – AVMSD).
The Culture sub-programme covers culture sector initiatives such as those promoting cross-border cooperation, platforms, networking, and literary translations.
A cross-sectoral strand, addressed to all cultural and creative sectors, which includes a Guarantee Facility, supports transnational policy cooperation. This strand also provides support for Creative Europe Desks in all participating countries, in order to reach out to stakeholders
