EUNIC Brochure

What projects is EUNIC putting in place on the ground? How is EUNIC’s work beneficial to individuals and organisations who engage with the network in our partner countries around the world? What will cultural relations work look like tomorrow?

In the first edition of the EUNIC brochure, we discuss the value and role of European cultural relations today. We visit people and projects in more than six countries to showcase the width and depth of European collaboration in culture. Our work ranges from health and wellbeing to human and especially LGBTIQ rights and from connecting people through co-capacity building to cultural management training. Personal testimonies from another five projects give further insight into the impact our work has on people’s lives.

We also give insight into the workings of EUNIC by sharing data and statistics on our achievements and by giving an overview of our members and locations.
