These reflect our four strategic focus areas: connecting Europe through its libraries, empowering digital citizenship, strengthening a culture of solidarity, and building a new philanthropic ecosystem for Europe. Together, they contribute to a more united, democratic, and hopeful Europe—grounded in cultural cooperation and shared public spaces.
All our focus areas reflect the core ambitions of our 2025–2029 strategy: to shape Europe as a living cultural community rooted in solidarity, imagination, and shared purpose.
They serve as strategic umbrellas for our programme work—each one framing a distinct yet interconnected aspect of our mission. Within these focus areas, our programmes bring together people from diverse backgrounds to build meaningful connections, strengthen belonging, and foster cross-border solidarity.
