The European Commission (EC) has issued a call for proposals under its ‘Investing in People’ programme on “strengthening capacities in the cultural sector.”
The overall objective of this call for proposals is to contribute to the creation of a political, regulatory, institutional and economic environment conducive to the strengthening of the cultural sectors and their actors as a vector for sustainable economic, social and human development. The call for proposals is divided into two lots with the same overall objective but some different specific objectives and different geographic dimensions.
Applications must concern only one of the following lots:
Lot 1: ‘Investing in People’
Specific objectives

– strengthen capacities of public, semi-public and private actors involved in the governance and structuring of the cultural sectors, regarding the role and representativeness of professionals, entrepreneurs, artists and civil society organisations;
