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)
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“Both at-home and working mothers can overmeet their mothering responsibilities. In order to justify their jobs, working mothers can overnurture, overconnect with, and overschedule their children into activities and classes. Similarly, some at-home mothers,... can make at- home mothering into a bigger deal than it is, over stimulating, overeducating, and overwhelming their children with purposeful attention.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
