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:
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
“That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“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)
