We provide training, advice, and networking opportunities for creatives and support the development of sustainable structures in the cultural and creative industries—for example, through training programs for cultural entrepreneurs or the internationalization of creative enterprises. Through our residency programs, collaborations, and co-productions, we promote global networking among cultural professionals. We offer civil society actors spaces for protection and freedom to enable open dialogue. We maintain democratic discourse even in challenging times.
