3rd IETM members Central & East Europe meet up - May 14th - 16:30 CET
Dear friends,
The next conversation will take place on May 14th at 16.30 and we will continue with our discussion on “What we can do together”.
We touched upon a point in our second meeting that seemed to resonate with the members present and we would like to continue the conversation on how we can support this further.
The point was on how we can use each other and the connections and IETM to raise the question of how the Governments are distributing the funding from the Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative (CRII), and other instruments implemented to help alleviate the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on culture. Elena Polivtseva,
Head of Policy and Research at IETM will also join us for the conversation.
The meeting will take place on zoom, please find the link and details below:

5) Also, the European Commission launched a new platform Creatives Unite: a new platform for cultural and creative stakeholders to help artists, performers and others working in the cultural and creative sectors share information and ideas more easily during the current coronavirus crisis: https://creativesunite.eu/
The platform offers a common space for all those looking for information about cultural and creative sector initiatives responding to the coronavirus crisis. It gives access in one single space to the multitude of existing resources and numerous relevant networks and organisations. It also offers a curated space to co-create and upload contributions towards finding solutions together. More information is available here (https://ec.europa.eu/culture/news/coronavirus-new-platform-cultural-and-creative-stakeholders_en).
