The second phase of European Spaces of Culture builds on the results of the first, with new pilot projects in 2022 to find new innovative collaborations that show the development of the implementation of the EU's approach to international cultural relations.

The second Call for Ideas, which was launched in January 2021, invited EUNIC members, EU Delegations and their local cultural partners to come together and present new projects. The international selection committee chose 11 ambitious cultural relations projects for implementation between January and October 2022. Find out more below!

Under the first phase of European Spaces of Culture, six pilot projects were implemented to test innovative models of collaboration from March 2020 until April 2021. These projects ranged from among others building a network of makers' spaces in West Africa and raising awareness of the danges of air pollution in Mongolia, to co-production and travelling performances of contemporary drama in Central America.
