Dear friend of the Cultural Deal for Europe campaign,
Last week the European Parliament announced the hearings of the Commissioners-designate, which are now set to start on 4 November and run until 12 November.
The Culture Committee and other members of the European Parliament will be taking part in hearings coinciding with our planned “Championing Culture for Europe’s Future. Cultural Deal for Europe annual policy conversation 2024”. Due to this overlap, we are postponing our annual conversation to a later date when the new College of European Commissioners and the European Parliament will be fully in place.
We thank the more than 330 already registered participants and all those who were planning to join us in Brussels on 5 November for their interest in the Cultural Deal for Europe, and we will share a new date with you as soon as possible.
If you plan to follow the hearings and get a culture sector view ahead of the “grilling”, we recommend reading Culture Action Europe’s analysis of the European Commission President’s Mission Letter to Glenn Micallef, the designated Commissioner for Intergenerational Fairness, Youth, Culture, and Sport.
We wish the Cultural Committee and the Commissioner-designate success next month and look forward to welcoming them and you to our annual conversation soon. Culture is Chefsache, and together we need to make culture centre-stage in and for Europe. Join the job!
Culture Action Europe, Europa Nostra, European Cultural Foundation, the three initiators of the Cultural Deal for Europe, and our partner for the event, Centre for Fine Arts Brussels – Bozar look forward to welcoming you soon.
