The notion of "European creativity" is based on a shared imagination, rich in stories interwoven throughout history to this day, but also on a foundation of values - solidarity, humanism, respect for our differences - that we share.
It is to honour this notion that the Institut français sought to encourage the French cultural network in Europe to seize on the occasion of the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union (FPEU) by launching a dedicated call for projects which has led to 30 projects in 18 countries being supported: exhibitions, meetings, debates and competitions illustrate very current European themes such as sustainable development, the promotion of multilingualism or even issues of inclusion and gender equality.
The projects presented are all supported by the Institut français as part of the "European Creativity" call for proposals launched on the occasion of the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union (FPEU) in the first half of 2022. A programme has been published for the occasion to accompany local programming.
