European Cultural Parliament
“Culture is the core of society”
The European Cultural Parliament was founded in the premises of the Council of Europe, Strasbourg, in 2001. The objective was – and is – to strengthen the role of cultural and artistic ideas and initiatives in Europe. In addition, the founders of the ECP wish to strengthen the dialogue between citizens in Eastern and Western Europe and between the various arts sectors.
The ECP is its members – 160 artists, cultural managers and cultural personalities from 43 European countries.
The European Cultural Parliament – Future Generation (ECP-FG) is an initiative created within the ECP in the beginning of 2017 and was partly built on the previous ECP Youth Network (YN). It is a network of young aspiring artists and cultural professionals between the ages of 18 and 35, from all over Europe as defined by the European Council. The Future Generation aims to generate cultural progressive and innovative thinking to inspire Europe, as well as challenge and influence decision makers.
The ECP-FG helps artists elevate their platform, build their network and collaborate deeper in EU art forums and events.
