EUNIC advocates a prominent role of culture in international relations and is a strategic partner of the EU, actively involved in the further definition of European cultural policy.

Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: EUNIC is one of the 28 European networks supported by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. It has continuously benefited from this support since 2014. Culture The Preparatory Action European Spaces of Culture is co-funded by the Directorate-General Education, Youth, Sports and Culture of the European Commission. Administrative Arrangement: Partnership agreement with the EU In 2021, EUNIC and the European External Action Service (EEAS) approved a joint statement, re-confirming their commitment to strengthening their collaboration.
Communication Activities: Joint activities between the EU and EUNIC A first joint pilot activity resulting from the Administrative Arrangement was the publication of the Report on the current state of the partnership between EUNIC clusters and EU Delegations, based on the experiences of collaboration in 14 countries worldwide. Furthermore, EUNIC, the EEAS and the Commission have co-hosted joint sessions on the role of cultural relations in EU foreign policy during regional seminars in North Macedonia (2018), Dominican Republic, Eritrea, Ghana, Guinea and the Philippines (2019). They are also co-hosting webinars on cultural relations for colleagues working in EU Delegations and in the EUNIC network, including in the framework of European Spaces of Culture. To further facilitate cooperation between EU Delegations and the EUNIC network, the “Joint Guidelines: EUNIC – European External Action Service – European Commission partnership” were co-authored and published. These guidelines advise colleagues working in EU Delegations and EUNIC clusters worldwide on how to design effective working relationships in order to deliver cultural relations projects. Large-scale cultural relations projects funded by the EU and (co-)lead by EUNIC members are currently being implemented, including House of Europe in Ukraine, EU4Culture in Eastern Partnership countries, EU4YOUth in Tunisia, and parts of the ACP-EU Culture programme in Sub-Saharan Africa. Joint cultural relations projects and programmes between EUNIC clusters and EU Delegations are currently being implemented. European Spaces of Culture In 2018, EUNIC was granted the Preparatory Action European Spaces of Culture (formerly European ‘Houses’ of Culture), initiated by the European Parliament and implemented through EUNIC’s network, EU Delegations, and local stakeholders. The Preparatory Action was running from 2019 until 2023, tests innovative collaboration models in cultural relations between European and local partner organisations in countries outside the EU. 25 pilot projects have been supported by the project. The project has been established as a strategic action at European level and is continuing until December 2025 under a new contract signed with the European Commission, implementing a new round of pilot projects worldwide.
