The Programme safeguards and promotes European cultural diversity and fosters Europe’s cultural richness. It also helps the cultural and audiovisual sectors adapt to the digital age and contributes to Cultural Dialogue. It opens up new international opportunities, markets and audiences. Cinema lovers are given the opportunity to watch feature films from across Europe, screened in hundreds of cinema halls and festivals around Europe.
From 2016, Creative Europe will include a financial guarantee instrument to help the cultural and creative sectors have better access to finance under the Programme.
In Cyprus, Creative Europe is managed by the private organisation TALOS.
