From a camp for young Georgian and Armenian composers that has just started in the Armenian town of Dilijan, to the Euro Tolerance festival which will take place in Baku in October and the culture days of Azerbaijan in the Belarusian capital of Minsk, there have been plenty of recent cultural developments in the Eastern Neighbourhood. These are just some of the examples of a selection of top initiatives in the six Eastern Partner countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine) which were recently highlighted by the EU-funded Eastern Partnership (EaP) Culture and Creativity Programme.
More details about the art and cultural events highlighted by the programme can be found on its website.
The EU-Eastern Partnership Culture and Creativity Programme supports the cultural and creative sectors’ contribution to sustainable humanitarian, social and economic development in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. The four-year programme will run until 2018, covering topics like cultural leadership, cultural and statistical research, audience development, cultural journalism, advocacy and fundraising.
