Creative Europe Desk Armenia functions with the support of the European Commission and the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports of the Republic of Armenia. The Desk is coordinated by the “Yerevan Perspectives” International Music Festival. 

​

The activities of the Desk are aimed at contributing to the development of intercultural communication in the European cultural space, raising awareness in Armenia about the "Creative Europe" Programme and the open calls, capacity building of the cultural organizations, structures, and individuals, identifying the potential partners, and much more. The office conducts information events and workshops for potential beneficiaries of the Programme, and provides consultancy on the open calls, deadlines, application packages, and other details.

​

The main activities carried out by the Desk include:

• Consulting and Guidance 

  • The CED Armenia provides free advice to organizations that are considering applying for support from Creative Europe for a cultural project. The Desk is here to guide the applicants through the entire process, helps to assess whether the initiated project fits into the Creative Europe programme framework, and much more. 

• Events of the Desk and Other Joint Events 

  • The CED Armenia regularly organizes information events, webinars, and more where the potential applicants and beneficiaries can learn more about the program, the priorities, etc.

  • The Desk participates in various events and delivers presentations during external events.

  • The upcoming events are presented here.

• Resources and Information ​

  • To help applicants and provide answers to common questions, the CED Armenia has created a resource bank with tools, guides, and useful information. Is there anything you are missing in the resource bank? Please contact the Desk at info@creativeeurope.am and the Desk will be happy to assist you. 
     

There is no need to mention the importance of the common cultural heritage of Europe and Armenia, the mutual influence and shared traditions. The activities of the Creative Europe Desk Armenia are targeted at the promotion and sustainability of the continuity of this collaboration and support newly joined cultural initiatives. This is what Creative Europe is about.

​

Important Note! The Creative Europe Desk Armenia has no duties related to receiving and evaluating funding applications, selecting winning projects or awarding grants. All those actions are managed by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency of the European Commission.
