• Facilitating cooperation and networking between cultural practitioners within and outside the EU including cultural organisations, private foundations and civil society stakeholders 

 Offering strategic advice and expertise to EU institutions and EU delegations 

• Enhancing skills and capacities of cultural practitioners globally to deliver international cultural relations 

About the Role 

The Team Leader will be responsible for the overall management of the Cultural Relations Platform and for ensuring the effective coordination and implementation of all project activities.
