Collaboration Grants | European Cultural Foundation Over the past 60 years, we have brought together ideas, knowledge and experience to maximise the impact of culture across wider Europe, both through our activities and through our grants programmes. Our goal is to support and bring new ideas and inspired visions to diverse audiences across different countries in Europe and beyond. The 2013 call for Collaboration Grants was aligned with our strategic focus for the next four years – Connecting Culture, Communities and Democracy. We supported projects (12 collaboration grants from Greece to Latvia) that – by working transnationally and cross-sectorally – present a fresh and more sustainable picture of Europe. Between now and 2016, we will work through a networked approach, aiming to connect local cultural change-makers, raising awareness of their creative potential to generate new social, environmental, economic and democratic models through their cultural practices.

About the Hippocrene Foundation The Hippocrene Foundation is a state-approved independent family foundation whose main purpose is "to Live Europe" by developing stronger connections between young Europeans. Supporting projects: The Foundation provides financial support to non-profit projects in various domains: culture and education as well as humanitarian and social action. The Foundation has chosen to minimize its operating costs so that more than 75% of its budget may be devoted to grants. Its assets come both from the returns on its own capital and from donations by individuals or companies. Creating networks: Complementarily, the Hippocrene Foundation fosters meetings between young Europeans from different networks and backgrounds. Acting with partners: In order to broaden the range of its activities, the Hippocrene Foundation has created the "Circle of Hippocrene's Friends" (le Cercle des amis d'Hippocrene) and has become a sheltering Foundation.

Creative Industries Fund NL Cultural tourism - Tourism - Enterprise and Industry "Europe must offer sustainable and high-quality tourism, playing on its comparative advantages, in particular the diversity of its countryside and extraordinary cultural wealth." With this statement, the Commission communication "Europe, the world's No 1 tourist destination - a new political framework for tourism in Europe" confirms the significant role of cultural tourism. Europe is indeed a key cultural tourism destination, with a large number of major sites and a strong flow of international and domestic visitors. Tourists are more and more looking for true experiences, for meeting and getting to know other people and other cultures.Tourism policies will need to adapt to these trends and develop a quality offer promoting local cultures and traditions and paying attention to sustainable aspects: preservation of the heritage, of the landscape, of the local culture.
