COUNCIL RESOLUTION ON THE EU WORK PLAN FOR CULTURE 20232026
2022/C 466/01
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, ACKNOWLEDGING
that culture is an infinite source of inspiration and innovation, a reflection of humanity and aesthetics, our shared language and heritage, and a fundamental part of our identities and communities;
the role of culture as an integral element in sustainable development and positive societal transformation;
the growing significance of EU values, including freedom of expression and creation;
the contribution of the cultural and creative sectors to employment and the EU economy;
the role of culture in the EUs external relations and cooperation with other international bodies, especially the Council of Europe and UNESCO;
the Councils previous work plans for culture and the results achieved;
IN THE LIGHT OF
the ongoing Russian war against Ukraine, an EU candidate country, which constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and an attack on human rights and fundamental EU values and principles, which threatens to destroy the rich cultural life and heritage of Ukraine, and which has triggered the largest displacement of citizens in Europe since the Second World War and an alarming energy crisis;
the serious impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on society as a whole, on each individual and on many economic sectors, especially the cultural and creative sectors, many of which continue to suffer from its consequences;
the accelerating pace of climate change, the loss of biodiversity and the consequent need to step up the sustainability transformation, which culture can expedite by awareness-raising, creativity and innovation;
ongoing processes such as digitalisation and persistent challenges such as the specific working conditions of artists, creators and other cultural professionals;
RECALLING
the main political references as set out in Annex II to this Resolution;
the importance of mainstreaming the cultural dimension into all relevant policy areas, programmes and initiatives, and the need for increased synergies;
the efforts taken to develop and implement a strategic EU approach to international cultural relations;
