Its contribution to intercultural dialogue, cultural diplomacy, mobility and social dimension is undisputed. In general: when sector-specific actions are developed, make sure no sector is disadvantaged in the long-term. would promote mobility of performances: mobility of artists will have a larger impact if they can show their works of arts; moreover mobility of performances guarantee their longer life span and broader reach to a larger and more diverse European audiences, contributing to common values and a shared identity.
