You can still join Culture Action Europe's campaign asking for a standalone, stronger Creative Europe programme in the next EU budget.

We believe that the future EU budget must include a strong, standalone Creative Europe programme. That is why, together with 500+ other European cultural organisation, in March 2025 we have joined Culture Action Europe's call to European policymakers and to the Commission President, demanding:

  • That Creative Europe remain a self-standing programme dedicated to culture and creativity.

  • That its budget be significantly increased to 2% of total EU spending.

Show that culture matters and must have its own programme and budget by adding you name: sign the letter here
