Culture - Sport

The EU adopts the principle of subsidiarity in the field of culture, recognizing its crucial role for the European identity and its important social and economic impact. Culture and freedom of creation are vital for the European Union and its citizens, as means for strengthening democracies and values. Cultural and creative sectors and industries play a pivotal role in European cultural diversity.

EU’s actions in the field of culture are currently supported mainly by the Program “Creative Europe”, under the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027. The EU wishes to ensure a wider access for artists and cultural and creative professionals to EU mobility grants.

In the field of sports, which was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, EU’s actions are mainly supported by the “Erasmus+” Program, which aims at developing the European dimension of sports and the cooperation between sports organizations.
