Eastern Partnership Culture Programme presents manual for culture development process

Programme has presented a practical guide to strengthen strategic planning as a necessary element for the development process in the field of culture and society in general.

The new manual is aimed at state and non-state actors in EaP countries operating in the culture sector to promote and stimulate participatory strategic planning practices. This, in turn, will result in tangible culture policy reforms.

The Eastern Partnership Culture Programme aims at assisting the Partner Countries in their cultural policy reform at government level, as well as capacity building and improving professionalism of cultural operators in the region. It seeks to strengthen regional cultural links and dialogue within the Eastern Partnership region, and between the EU and ENP Eastern countries’ cultural networks and actors.

Eastern Partnership (EaP) is a specific initiative of the European Union to strengthen relationship between the European Union and its Eastern neighbours – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.

Launched in May 2009 at the Prague Summit by 27 EU Member States and 6 partner countries the initiative seeks to support political, social and economic reforms in the Eastern Partnership region and promote stability, security and prosperity of the European Union, its Eastern partners and the entire European continent.

The Eastern Partnership embodies the Eastern dimension of the European Neighbourhood Policy. It gradually develops and deepens bilateral relations, supports reforms in partner countries and accelerates their political association and economic integration with the European Union. It is based on the shared values of democracy, respect for human rights and the rule of law.
