Culture Action Europe

Culture Action Europe aisbl (CAE) is the major European network of cultural networks, organisations, artists, activists, academics & policy-makers. CAE is the first port of call for informed opinion and debate about arts and cultural policy in the EU. As the only inter-sectoral network, we bring together all sectors in culture: from performing arts, literature, visual arts, design and cross-arts initiatives to community centres and activist groups. Culture Action Europe believes in the the value and values of culture and its contribution to the development of sustainable and inclusive societies. We believe in the value and values of culture. We believe that it contributes to the development of sustainable and inclusive societies. We believe that culture is a practice rather than a resource. We believe that cultural gain is fundamentally social and collective, and culture is a common good We believe in a plural voice that includes the enormous potential of a community that acts collectively. We believe exploratory culture is a space in which to create shared values. We believe that culture must be put at the heart of the public debate and decision-making.
