Activities
ECF activities include a Grants programme, and two core programmes: the Youth and Media programme (works with other cultural organisations working with youth and new media) and the European Neighbourhood programme (develops the expertise of cultural actors of change in countries neighbouring the EU). ECF's digital platforms work to bring different communities together and are established providers of information on cultural collaboration in Europe. They also engage in several advocacy campaigns and actions that seek to deliver a coherent and well-funded European strategy for culture. ECF has an annual award celebrating artistic excellence in creative interaction between cultures, namely the Princess Margriet Award. Since 2004, ECF has awarded the annual Cultural Policy Research Award.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“...I have never known a “movement” in the theater that did not work direct and serious harm. Indeed, I have sometimes felt that the very people associated with various “uplifting” activities in the theater are people who are astoundingly lacking in idealism.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
