EUNIC Online Talk: Cultural Relations And Covid-19

What is the impact of Covid-19 on the European cultural relations sector? In this online debate, we will discuss the findings of the EUNIC survey report and exchange ideas on how to move forward. Questions tackled will include: How can we ensure that, after this crisis, cultural relations continue to build trust and understanding between the people of Europe and the wider world? How to do inclusive digital cultural relations? And how to strengthen advocacy for cultural relations when EU foreign policy seems to heavily focus on defence and security policy?
