"EUROPE AND CULTURE" PORTAL
The long-awaited "Europe and culture" portal was launched at the informal
Council meeting of European ministers of culture in Salamanca, Spain, on
18/19 March 2002. The portal is described as a simple online information tool
in five languages (FR,EN,DE,IT,ES) designed for anyone interested in
European Union actions in the cultural field. The European Union provides
considerable support for cultural activities through its various DG's and this
portal attempts to bring this diverse activity under one website. The "Europe
and Culture" portal is designed to help anyone interested, whether in the arts,
education, research, the public sector or any aspect of culture and Europe,
to find their way around these different EU actions. The portal offers limited
information on cultural activities - music, dance, the restoration of historic
buildings etc - and on the various EU actions such as cultural cooperation,
regulations, funding for culture and international relations. Judge for yourself
