Ms Aoife Tunney:

Between the media and culture offices, we collaborate and hold joint events. We also have individual events. Our last report showed we had 78 events over the course of the year. As Ms Lowry pointed out, they are not specifically for a youth audience. Our funding is not directly for this. Each project has up to a maximum of ten partners throughout Europe. We have showcasing for every event, such as those in the Ark or projects funded through PUSH+, for example, to cover what has been happening. In our promotion, we try to showcase projects. It is the best way for people to understand how it works, who collaborates with whom, what the programme is about and how it can be accessed. It is mostly about accessing funding, but it is also about the promotion and dissemination of information on the projects.

With regard to the policy priorities in Europe, we spoke earlier about how our national policies have been aligning with European policies. Many of these are about sustainability, the environment, climate action, inclusivity and diversity. We work with these priorities. They come into our promotion of programmes and events. We are looking at various media and cultural events this year. These are the information points and detail that we want all audiences, including young audiences, to know about and be part of. Creative Europe promotes this. They are the real priorities that are very important in general with regard to how cultural projects can be part of this and contribute to it.
