European Agenda for Culture: Involving civil society

The 'open method of coordination' (OMC) also calls for the greater involvement of the cultural sector in the process. In this new context, an information session was organised on 19 February in Brussels by the European Commission. The participants had the opportunity to find out more about the Open Method of coordination in the area of culture as well as the way the European cultural sector – ranging from individual artists and performers to creative and cultural industries – can contribute to this new policy strategy for culture.

Following this information session, the Commission publishes a call in order to give organisations from the culture civil society the opportunity to express their interest in participating in the structured dialogue with the European Commission.
