EaP Civil Society Forum presents recommendations on next generation of EU programmes Erasmus for All and Creative Europe

17-07-2012

 

The Eastern Partnership (EaP) Civil Society Forum has written a letter setting out recommendations regarding the next generation of the EU Programmes Erasmus for All and Creative Europe. The recommendations were agreed by the coordinators from the Forum’s working group on contacts between people, and addressed to representatives of EU and EaP countries who attended a meeting of the EaP Platform on Contacts between People.
 
Regarding Erasmus for All, civil society representatives reiterated the need for a programme which should have a clear orientation on active citizenship and participatory learning and the European values needed; it should keep and develop operational grants for European umbrella associations and should value not only systemic, but also organisational and individual impact to enable the participation of small and medium size organizations and of young people, adults and seniors.
 
Members of working group saw see the Programme Creative Europe 2014-2020 as an opportunity to improve cultural cooperation between the EU and Eastern Partnership countries and as an important step towards building open and democratic societies in the EU neighbourhood. It should contribute also to a working dialogue for cultural policy reform to release the socio-economic potential of cultural development and cooperation. The civil societyrepresentativescalled on EU and EaP countries to remove the obstacles to international cultural cooperation.
 
The Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum (EaP CSF) was established in 2009 following the Prague Summit which launched the Eastern Partnership. The EaP CSF aims to support the development of civil society organisations and facilitate their dialogue with public authorities. The first EaP CSF took place in Brussels on 16-17 November 2009.
