The Initiative for a European Public Space (IEPS) is developed with partners and promotes a European public space, which includes online spaces, inclusive media spaces and cultural safe spaces.

ECF is the coordinator of three multi-annual programmes co-funded by the EU,  that connect dozens of European cities and their actors in culture and media. ECF also participates in the “Cities of Change Funders network” of EDGE to share knowledge and shift philanthropic resources to systemic alternatives in cities.
