CROSS-SECTORAL Strand
The purpose of the Cross-sectoral strand is to reinforce collaboration between different cultural and creative sectors (CCS) in order to help them address the common challenges they face and find innovative solutions. Its main priorities are:
- to support cross sectoral transnational policy cooperation, promoting the visibility of the programme and support the transferability of results;
- to encourage innovative approaches to content creation, access, distribution, and promotion across CCS and with other sectors;
- to support adjustments to the structural and technological changes faced by the news media;
- to support the establishment and activities of the Creative Europe Desks.
This is achieved for instance through policy cooperation, the services provided by the Creative Europe Desks, and the Creative Innovation Lab. Creative Europe also offers funding to the news media sector.
