culture Solutions Newsletter

No. 1 > March 2021

Dear cS friend, 

We are glad to announce the launch of our newsletter, and we’re very glad to have you on board!

Whether you are an EU official, an artist, a cultural sector actor or even a culture enthusiast, you will find here a whole set of critical resources and news that are worth your attention!

Indeed, with this Newsletter we want to create a simple way for you to be better informed on the opportunities and news of the EU International Cultural Relations sector. 

Here, you will be able to keep posted on the latest EU cultural news and trends as well as on our new projects, events and publications. The cS Explains section will showcase cS work and engagement and cS Explores will share external news and opportunities.

We hope that you’ll find it useful and relevant and thank you for your attention and support.

Happy reading, 

culture Solutions Team
