European Alliance for Culture and the Arts | Statement on Culture in regions and cities

12 October 2017

At the occasion of the European Week of Regions and Cities, which took place from 9 to 12 October 2017 in Brussels, the European Alliance for Culture and the Arts released a statement addressing the crucial role that regions and cities should play at the European policy level:  Statement on Culture in regions and cities.


 The European Alliance for Culture and Arts welcomes the opportunity to discuss the central role regions and cities play to address key challenges in future European policy making and cooperation between EU Member States and calls on European, regional and local policy makers to follow this approach and support culture and the arts in the framework of the EU economic, social and territorial cohesion policy to unlock their untapped potential in regions and cities.

Feel invited to share this statement with your colleagues and your local and regional policy makers.
