Culture Action Europe and its members are presenting the Cultural Meal for Europe, a contribution to the Cultural Deal for Europe Campaign, developed by Culture Action Europe, the European Cultural Foundation, and Europa Nostra, acting also on behalf of the European Heritage Alliance.
The Cultural Meal for Europe consists of 8 independent recipes that do represent 8 calls of the Cultural Deal for Europe 2022-2023. The Cultural Deal for Europe is a joint statement by the European community of cultural, creative, heritage and philanthropic sectors to mainstream culture across all policy fields to fully realise its potential for the European project: from the green transition to Europe’s geopolitical ambition, and from the digital shift to a value-driven Union. It bundles together both short-term and long-term perspectives. On the political level, the Cultural Deal for Europe aims at acknowledging the contribution of the sector to the European project, in particular by reconsidering the social and legal status of artists and cultural professionals but also by going beyond the sectoral perspective and including cultural approaches and voices in the main strategic EU programmes and policies, as well as in the Conference on the Future of Europe.
The Cookbook dishes suggest options to create the full dining experience or be used as self-standing recipes – a feature aligned with the modular nature of the Cultural Deal for Europe itself. One of the dishes is a call to achieve progress with benchmarking existing national policies in the framework provided by the current EU Member States’ expert group on the working conditions of artists and cultural professionals.
