Kort om hur EU kan fortsätta stötta kultursektorn genom krisen
Alla kulturarbetare i Europa nås inte av de finansiella stödinsatser som införts, då de inte förmår uppfylla de kvalifikationer som krävs. I syfte att nå ut till fler arbetare inom kultursektorn har parlamentets kulturutskott har föreslagit EU en ytterligare finansiell stödinsats, med utgångspunkt i programmet Kreativa Europa.

Denna stödinsats ska gå ut på att utforma anpassningsbara stöd till kulturarbetare tills krisen är över och [...]

For the I_Improve project, each partner organisation (of which Intercult is one) must choose a change maker.

We had a long process in choosing our changemaker, as we long deliberated what it was exactly that we wanted to improve. Initially, we were working with three wonderful organisations that all touched our hearts with their commitment to [...]
