On 6 June, Corsica 2028 organised a workshop to clarify this apparent paradox: cultural players
would like to see more cooperation, but make little use of European cooperation programmes. And

This exploratory workshop provided an opportunity to discuss 4 objectives:
- Mapping and characterising European programmes linked to culture.
- Take stock of local expertise in terms of dissemination, awareness-raising and
support for cultural players in mobilising European funds. - Draw up a list of the needs/fears of cultural players with regard to European programmes
- Sketch out ways of facilitating the involvement of Corsican cultural players in the
European programmes.
The few elements of this report are a modest contribution to the necessary elaboration of a new strategy.
a European cooperation strategy for cultural players.
