Contribution to the Commission Consultation “EU 2020” Strategy
FERA CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMISSION CONSULTATION PAPER THE FUTURE “EU 2020” STRATEGY
FERA would like to thank the European Commission for the opportunity to contribute in the consultation on the future EU 2020 Strategy and commends the Commission on calling for an agenda that puts people and responsibility first and its emphasis on sustainability, innovation, and social inclusion.
Art and culture are important factors in promoting social inclusion, and European citizens have the right to access culture. Europe’s creators bear witness to our time. The works we create hold up a mirror to modern society and are the cultural heritage of tomorrow, conveying meaning and identity locally and globally.
Artistic creation should be recognised as a key element in creating public value, culturally, economically and socially. The range of human, material and technical resources in the artistic fields contributes significantly, and increasingly so, to income and employment.
