Today, the Commission launches Culture Moves Europe, its new permanent mobility scheme for artists and cultural professionals, as well as a first call for individual mobility, during a high-level event in Brussels, Belgium. Benefiting from a total budget of €21 million under the Creative Europe programme for a three-year-period (2022-2025), Culture Moves Europe becomes the largest European mobility scheme for artists and cultural professionals targeting all Creative Europe countries and sectors covered by the Culture Strand of the programme.

Participants will include representatives of the EU institutions, stakeholders and organisations from the cultural sector. Culture Moves Europe addresses the pressing needs of the cultural and creative sectors for inclusive and sustainable mobility opportunities with reinforced attention to emerging artists.
