Libraries for Europe
Libraries are curated, public, safe spaces where people of all kinds of national, cultural backgrounds and ages meet.
We regard the establishment of a programmatic connection between (public) libraries all over Europe, engaging millions of citizens, as a stimulus for the emergence of a new European Social Network that can fuel a culture of solidarity between individuals and communities, across differences, borders and nationalities.
The Europe Challenge
The Europe Challenge is an annual programme that brings together teams from libraries and communities across Europe to address today’s most pressing social, digital, and climate challenges by developing, sharing and implementing creative solutions with support from the European Cultural Foundation and its partners.
At the heart of the programme lies the belief that libraries and their communities are fundamental to shaping a more inclusive, connected, and sustainable Europe.
