Why invest more in these sectors? • Jobs, growth and social inclusion • • Individual creativity • • Spill-overs for innovation, tourism, etc. • • Sectors of the future: creative industries
Which new priorities for which new challenges? 1. A fragmented cultural space • Many small, fragmented markets • Europe’s linguistic diversity • The difficulties for artists and their works to cross borders • Few Europeans access “non-national” European cultural works • Cultural and linguistic diversity is a challenge, but also an EU commitment
Which new priorities for which new challenges? 2. The digital shift • Profound impact on the sector in terms of creation, distribution, consumption and remuneration • Change in relations between cultural organisations and the public/audiences • Challenges, but also opportunities • Excellent practices exists, but know-how is geographically fragmented and under-developed across Europe
Which new priorities for which new challenges? 3. Lack of data • The shortage of comparable cultural data • More difficult to design policy and programmes at national and European levels • More difficult to advocate for funding for culture if no evidence
Creative Europe: objectives • To safeguard and promote Europe’s cultural and linguistic diversity. • To strengthen the competitiveness of the cultural and creative sectors to foster smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. • To realise an added value (social, economic, cultural, pedagogical, ecological,…) in answer to the EU 2020 strategy.
Creative Europe: priorities • Support to develop skills and knowhow to facilitate adjustment to the digital shift, new business models • Strengthen European and international networks to facilitate access to new professional opportunities • Support artists/cultural professionals to internationalize their careers • Support international touring, events and exhibitions • Support literary translation • Support for audience development and building a long-term audience for European cultural works
Audience development as a concept • Cultural, social and economic dimensions • Developing, deepening and diversifying • The need to reach the "non-audience" • Growing importance of participatory art & co-creation • Need for new skills, interdisciplinary partnerships, collaborative ventures
