Culture Action Europe (CAE) is a key European network bringing together cultural organizations, artists, activists, academics, and policymakers. As the only cross-sectoral platform, it connects members and strategic partners from all areas of culture, serving as the political voice of the cultural sector in Europe. It is also the main consultative forum that fosters informed debate and shapes cultural and artistic policies.
CAE maintains an ongoing dialogue between the European cultural sector and decision-makers, creating a space for knowledge exchange and collaboration. It is committed to developing transformative cultural policies that not only recognize culture as an independent sector but also acknowledge its role as a catalyst for the development of other fields.
Culture Action Europe operates on the belief that culture is the foundation of Europe’s shared future—one that is open to the world, supportive of pluralism, and rooted in solidarity. It plays a crucial role in the sustainable development of our planet and strengthens social bonds, fostering open and supportive communities.
