  The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is the voice of civil society in the European Union and regularly opens its doors to the social partners, grassroots organisations and the general public. A major concern for the EESC is engaging in constructive dialogue with the younger generation, who not only need more information about the EU, but also have a lot to say themselves regarding their future as European citizens. To this end the EESC launched a youth event in 2010 called Your Europe, Your Say! (YEYS), in which secondary school pupils from all over Europe gather to discuss a topical subject and propose resolutions for future European policies in that field. The resolutions are then debated and submitted to a vote by the participants, who choose the best three using the same voting system as the EESC members. The Committee then follows up on the resolutions, which includes forwarding them to the European Commission and the European Parliament.

  This exhibition aims to raise awareness, albeit via a limited number of works, about the unique and yet emblematic artistic career of Edvard Stepančič. Stepančič, who was born in Trieste to a Slovenian-speaking family, was a European figure whose work had not received the attention and acclaim that it deserves. Despite living a secluded life, Stepančič always kept up to date with the latest international research. As an art student in the 1920s he travelled between Trieste, Ljubljana, Monza, Prague and Paris, and then settled permanently in Belgrade from 1931 until his death.

  Heritage at risk
  EU research and innovation for a more resilient cultural heritage

  Cultural heritage has a universal value for us as individuals, communities and societies. Rather than being static, heritage evolves through our engagement with it and our heritage has a significant role to play in building the future of Europe.

  Cultural heritage has a universal value for us as individuals, communities and societies. Rather than being static, heritage evolves through our engagement with it and our heritage has a significant role to play in building the future of Europe. All these factors feed into the European Union’s decision to make 2018 the European Year of Cultural Heritage. EU research projects have been carefully investigating the preservation and sustainable management of vulnerable artefacts and sites. Innovative solutions and techniques, assessment systems, mitigation strategies, risk management models, disaster prevention, quick damage assessment, ICT tools and guidelines have been some of the major results successfully delivered by FP7 and H2020 projects on cultural heritage.

  Mobility of artists and culture professionals : towards a European policy framework

  Mobility is a social and economic condition of artists and culture professionals and, at the same time, a vector of social and economic development.

  Mobility is a social and economic condition of artists and culture professionals and, at the same time, a vector of social and economic development. However, mobility in the cultural and creative sectors is faced with a number of issues that need to be addressed at EU and national levels. The paper provides recommendations for a EU-wide mobility framework which entails both a dedicated mobility scheme and an improved regulatory environment that would facilitate mobility in Europe.

  The interim evaluation of the Creative Europe Programme and the ex-post evaluation of the three predecessor programmes: Culture, MEDIA 2007 and MEDIA Mundus assesses their relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and EU added value, as well as the long term results and impact of predecessor programmes. It considers the context of the implementation of the programmes also reflecting on their contribution to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, on the new Commission priorities, including the Digital Single Market Strategy and the European Agenda for Culture. In sum, the programmes have been relevant to the current emerging needs of the Creative and Cultural Sectors linked to the globalisation and digitalisation; are mostly internally coherent; are externally coherent with the Member States’ policies, EU and other international interventions; are effective and efficient in generating their expected results; somewhat generate somewhat sustainable impacts and bring significant EU added value mostly by supporting transnational cooperation in the sector. The recommendations are to enhance the design of the current and future programme, flexadapt it to upcoming challenges, communicate on other sources of funding available, target the budgetary allocation on the most efficient schemes, strengthen the dissemination of project results and capitalise on the partnerships and networks developed through the supported projects.

  The Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor aims to capture and express complex and indeterminate concepts related to the ‘Cultural Vibrancy’, ‘Creative Economy’ and ‘Enabling Environment’ of 168 cities in Europe. This statistical annex analyses and comments on the methodological choices made in the selection of 29 indicators and their organisation into nine dimensions, three sub-indices and an overall index (the C3 Index). The analysis was performed and is reported here in order to maximise the reliability and transparency of the model (the C3 model). It should enable users to draw more relevant, meaningful and useful conclusions from the results presented in the report or in the online version of the Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor.

  This first edition of the Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor shows how well 168 selected cities in 30 European countries perform on a range of measures describing the ‘Cultural Vibrancy’, the ‘Creative Economy’ and the ‘Enabling Environment’ of a city. The Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor is designed to help national, regional and municipal policy makers identify local strengths and opportunities and benchmark their cities against similar urban centres using both quantitative and qualitative data. The Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor is thus an instrument to promote mutual exchange and learning between cities. For researchers, the pool of comparable data is expected to generate new questions and insights into the role of culture and creativity in cities’ social and economic wellbeing. The Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor supports the European Commission’s efforts to put culture at the heart of its policy agenda. It provides a common evidence base at city level that illuminates the importance of culture and creativity and their contribution to improving socio-economic perspectives and resilience.

  This study is meant to provide the evidence of positive experiences by local and regional authorities (LRAs) in the design and implementation of cultural development strategies. Cultural development strategies are planning approaches in which culture is a pillar for sustainable development (Hristova et al., 2015, Hutton, 2016), and through which policymakers may boost their cities’ or territories’ comparative advantage and competitiveness on the basis of existing or potential cultural endowment.
