Last year we felt that it was the right moment to take another bold step with our organisation and we decided to make some real changes, to take strong decisions on content and organisation and sharpen our strategic focus. Now we feel well equipped and ready to step into this next exciting and challenging period. <br class="yz87w0odxciwb6750"/></p><p class="yz87w0odxciwb6750">As in all processes the implementation is progressive, so we invite you to stay tuned and to catch up regularly. We will of course keep you up to speed on all important changes. For now we have written a communiqué for our constituencies showing in a nutshell what we are up to and what you can expect from us in the next period. <strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.eurocult.org/files/uploads/docs/1288.pdf" rel="noopener">Read now</a></strong></p></div></div><p class="yz87w0odxciwb6750">We <strong><u><a href="https://www.eurocult.org/we-support-cultural-cooperation/">support</a></u></strong> high-quality artistic activities and cultural cooperation across different countries, borders and boundaries.
