The campaign "We Are More"
Why this campaign
From 2011 to 2013, the European Union on its future work program from 2014 to 2020, ie on budget negotiations and policies that will impact Europe in all fields of activities for the next 10 years.
Campaign Goals
* Focus on the contribution of arts and culture to build a vision for the future of Europe
* Do recognize this contribution in the programs and policies of the European Union for a cultural program strengthened and increased support to culture in the European regional development policies.
Because the time has come:
1) Lift the central questions about the future of culture in European societies
2) Advocating the development of a multiplicity of artistic practices and support for cultural production free, accessible and independent, open to participation All
3) To recognize the responsibilities of artistic and cultural sectors to imagine a Europe that is more just, democratic and in which the arts and culture are part of a shared political thinking
4) Rephrase the debate surrounding the value and contribution of arts and culture in all aspects of everyday life across Europe
5) To tackle a challenge of unprecedented transformation of funding mechanisms, disengagement states, to invent new forms of solidarity, to put pressure on politicians to make culture more prominently in the debates and issues, the budget lines ...
Why The Federation is involved in this campaign?
1) For an outline of cultural policy and budget will also decide the level of the European Union and not only in our communities and the Ministry of Culture
2) Because the European policies have more impact on the daily work of artists and cultural operators across Europe
3) Because so far, all major sectors of civil society have structured their representation in order to increase their influence in the decisions of the European institutions ...
4) because the budget of the EU culture est de 0,03% de son budget global !!!!!!!
5) Car l’art et la culture se doivent également de participer à la création d’une Europe sociale et plus juste pour tous
6) Car nous voulons faire entendre la voix des arts de la rue et des arts dans l'espace public sur la scène européenne, faire reconnaître notre spécificité et mettre en synergie les acteurs de la rue en Europe…
