On January 25, 2022, a digital tool was launched to help civil society actors fund their projects. During the launch event, artists and policy-makers came together to talk about the current situation of cultural practitioners in Europe and to discuss visions for better supporting them.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What role do shrinking spaces play in the cultural sector? What challenges do cultural practitioners face in the current situation? What is needed to overcome them? And how can a digital platform help civil society actors network and find resources? These and other questions were discussed by the guests from culture and politics at the launch event of the new Funding Module of the European Hub for Civic Engagement<\/a> on January 25, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project Europe takes part!<\/em> <\/a>sheds light on the role of arts and culture in Europe and aims to strengthen its actors through the use of digital tools. We brought together artists and cultural practitioners from Turkey to Belarus. In co-collaborative workshops, they helped develop a digital tool within the European Hub of Civic Engagement<\/a> to support and encourage them in their daily challenges. As funding opportunities and the exchange about them were identified as the main problem in the workshops, the developed solution targets this area. Launched on January 25, 2022, the Funding Module now gives Hub users access to a (1) funding checklist to support work on project applications, (2) a funding message board for networking within the community, and (3) a customizable list of funding platforms.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
