Tracing constellations.
Stories of culture, cooperation and impact across creative Europe cooperation projects (2021–2024)
Life Long Burning is featured in Tracing Constellations.
This publication shows the achievement of projects funded under the European Cooperation Projects call for proposals. The yearly call of the Creative Europe Culture programme supports the development of transnational partnerships. It aims to strengthen the cultural and creative sectors by fostering artistic collaboration, innovation, capacity-building and audience engagement across Europe. Between 2021 and 2024, the timespan taken into consideration in this publication, nearly 600 projects were selected under this call. The cooperation call embraces the full breadth of Europe's cultural and creative sectors — from circus arts to digital archives, from community theatre to cross-border music touring and skills development for cultural heritage professionals. Across the selected projects thematic constellations take shape, arising organically from the needs, ideas and aspirations of the cultural and creative professionals who submitted them. Some align directly with the call's stated priorities. Others surface at the margins of current practice, hinting at directions the sector is beginning to explore and sometimes anticipating future trends. The Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), which implements the Creative Europe Programme on behalf of the European Commission, observes and documents these patterns . This publication intends to make them visible. It invites the reader to discover five of the many thematic constellations that these projects form: Democracy and European values; Youth; Digital Transformation; Green Transition and Sustainability; and New Practices and Models in the cultural sector. It presents projects selected during the first four years of the on-going Culture programme, illustrating how cultural cooperation translates European priorities into lived reality. One project at a time.
