Call: Cross-border Cooperation projects - large projects

Creative Europe's stated aims are to help the cultural and creative sectors seize the opportunities of the digital age and globalisation, enable the sectors to reach their economic potential, contributing to sustainable growth, jobs, and social cohesion, and to give Europe's culture and media sectors access to new international opportunities, markets, and audiences.
This will, amongst others, involve funding for:

• artists and cultural professionals
• cinemas
• films
• book translations

• Cooperation between cultural and creative organisations from different countries;
• Initiatives to translate and promote literary works across the European Union;
• Networks helping the cultural and creative sector to operate competitively and transnationally;
• Establishing platforms to promote emerging artists and stimulating European programming for cultural and artistic works.

Cross-border projects conducted by European cultural operators active in the cultural and creative sectors will be supported, especially to contribute to audience development by engaging in new and innovative ways with audiences and improve access to cultural and creative works in the Union and beyond with a particular focus on children, young people, people with disabilities and underrepresented groups.
