Address: Boston University, 808 Commonwealth Ave, Room 109 

This seminar is a unique occasion for European and USA cultural operators to better understand the EU-USA external policy in the cultural field and the instruments already available for cooperation between EU and USA organisations and actors. To start the morning, Timothy Rivera will talk about policy to better understand the public diplomacy strategy of the EU Delegation and the cultural programmes run in the US: from the EU Embassies’ Open House, European Month of Culture, AFI-EU Film Showcase, the Kids Euro Festival, and the Getting to Know Europe grants programme. In addition, he will give insights about different funding and management models for cultural operators in the US versus Europe. Sarah Delude will talk about the cooperation between UK and US, focusing on education. To follow, GiannaLia Cogliandro Beyens will present to the audience the EU Creative Europe programme and cultural networks with a specific focus on ENCATC, the European network on cultural management and policy. To know more about the existing projects between the two rivers, professor Patrick Fuery will talk about the two-year initiative to promote awareness of European Creative and Cultural Industries (CCI) through a series of residency programmes and conferences supported by the Getting To Know Europe grant. Working actively already since many years from the UK to boost cooperation with USA stakeholders, Mary Helen Young will talk about the international participation in EU support programmes for culture, with a focus on ACP Cultures+ and Creative Europe. To conclude, Allyson Esposito will talk about the arts and culture programmes of The Boston Foundation.
