Space for dialogue Cultural relations
On 27 June 2023, culture Solutions, in collaboration with MEP Mrs Salima Yenbou, organised a select roundtable on the theme of “Policy directions in EU international cultural relations, towards 2024”. The event gathered more than 50 key Brussels-based policy-makers, networks’ representatives and professionals from the cultural field. The roundtable offered a multi-stakeholder space for dialogue on the place of cultural action in the EU external policies agenda.
This Event report presents the content of the roundtable debates, focusing on three themes: taking stock, Ukraine and geopolitics, and the 2024 agenda. It also summarises clear conclusions and way forward for the EU’s external cultural relations.
