Creative Europe Desk Slovenia

Motovila is in charge of implementing the programme of the Creative Europe Desk (CED) Slovenia, the official national information office for the promotion of Creative Europe (2014–2020), the EU framework programme supporting European cultural and audiovisual sectors. The CED work programme is supported by the European Commission and the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia.

Based on many years of experience in providing support to the culture and film sectors within the national information centres of the former EU programmes (from 2002 onward), the Motovila team has built up an extensive network of (inter)national connections and became an important intermediary between the sectors’ representatives and the respective EU/national institutions in the field of culture.

Networking

Motovila is a member of Culture Action Europe (CAE), a European network of cultural organisations and individuals. CAE is the biggest umbrella organisation representing the cultural sector at the European level, working on European cultural policy issues and dedicated to promote culture as a necessary condition for sustainable development both at a local and European scale.

In 2013, the teams of Motovila/CED Slovenia and Culture.si initiated a still on-going data mining and interoperability project resulting in interactive EU Funding infographics (accompanied by analyses and comparative researches) representing data related to the EU funding for culture, film and audiovisual sectors raised by Slovene organisations since 2002 onward.
