A close-up, high-angle view captures a woman crouching on a wooden floor, writing on pink sticky notes with a green marker. She is surrounded by a group of people sitting or kneeling in a circle, some of whom are holding pens and notebooks. Scattered around her on the floor are an open notebook, a white pen, and multiple pink and green sticky notes containing handwritten text. The group is clearly collaborating and working on something together.

Culture Action Europe Action Groups

Culture Action Europe Action Groups are spaces where CAE members form a working group around a specific topic. Action Groups are organised around diverse thematic areas to reflect strategic priorities, emerging topics, and urgent needs raised in the cultural ecosystem including by CAE members.

Action groups provide a collaborative and co-creative space for members, often involving knowledge exchange, joint-research, and advocacy activities. The efforts of action groups may result in joint-positions, publications and events, and may also be supported by budget (if applicable). Unless otherwise stated in the action group description, action groups are open to all CAE members. Furthermore, action groups are temporary, lasting a maximum of 3 years, and retain a defined goal for their actions.

Culture Action Europe currently has 8 active action groups, which are listed below. Click on the button of each action group to learn more about their purpose, context, and activities.
