EULAT 4 Culture Belgium - Cooperative culture and creativity to address global challenges.

Wed 01 June — Tue 14 June 2022.

#EULAT4Culture Belgium is a cultural festival to strengthen EU- Latin American relations and shared values through cooperative culture and creativity: 23 different events based on cooperative arts, culture and creativity as a geopolitical force for peace from 1 to 14 June 2022.

The Ibero-American Cultural Network RIDCULT of SEGIB (formed by the 22 states of the Ibero-American Conference), the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the Spanish AECID presidency of EUNIC (Network of National Institutes of Culture of the European Union) launched at the meeting in Toledo last June 2021 the EULAT 4 Culture initiative with the aim of highlighting the importance of relations between Europe and Latin America through cultural cooperation.

To this end, EUNIC launched on 8 February 2022 a special global call financed by the Government of Spain, from which 20 EUNIC clusters were selected, including the proposal by the Brussels-based Cluster. This call funds cultural projects that bring new perspectives to the creative links between Europe and Latin America, contributing to shared values such as democracy, defense of human rights and freedom of expression.

In response to this call, the EUNIC Brussels Cluster has brought together European and Latin American embassies and cultural centres and Belgian cultural institutions for the cooperative production of the cultural festival “EULAT 4 Culture Belgium – Cooperative culture and creativity to address global challenges”.
