AgoraEU and the Future of Culture in Europe: A Common Cause<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Since May 2025, Fundaci\u00f3 Primavera Sound has been a proud member of Culture Action Europe (CAE) \u2014 the leading European network advocating for the role of culture in public policy, democratic dialogue, and the construction of a sustainable, just and creative Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an active part of this community, we\u2019ve contributed to a historic achievement: the European Commission\u2019s proposal to double the budget for culture and creativity in the upcoming Multiannual Financial Framework (2028\u20132034). The new AgoraEU programme envisions a record \u20ac8.6 billion, twice the amount currently allocated to Creative Europe, MEDIA and CERV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This result is the outcome of a coordinated mobilisation across Europe. In Spain alone, over 150 organisations and artists have signed an open letter to the Ministry of Finance calling for a firm commitment to culture in Europe. Similar actions have taken place in France, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Sweden, Italy and beyond \u2014 showing a shared determination to put culture at the heart of Europe\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this is not the end of the road. While we celebrate this step forward, we believe that more funding is not enough: Europe\u2019s cultural programmes must remain recognisable, autonomous and operationally strong. Creative Europe must not be diluted under broader thematic umbrellas or lose the symbolic and strategic value it has earned over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we advocate for Creative Europe to remain a visible, distinct and accessible programme for the cultural and creative sectors \u2014 with clear structures and dedicated governance. Only then can it continue to be an effective tool to support artistic mobility, innovation, market access and social cohesion across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As stated in our membership letter to CAE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe believe that dialogue with European institutions is essential to the future of cultural and creative sectors, and we want to contribute with our voice and experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll keep working \u2014 together with our allies in CAE and across Europe \u2014 to ensure that this new financial cycle is not only larger, but also fairer, clearer and more transformative for culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
