Abstract

The European Parliament, in its Resolution of 17 September 2020 on Europe’s cultural recovery, «calls on the Commission to introduce a European framework for working conditions in the cultural and creative sectors and industries at EU level». The EP’s Cultural Creators’ Friendship Group is discussing the topic, and the CULT Committee has launched an investigation into the effects of the Covid-19 crisis on the sector and asked for recommendations to make the sector and its workers more resilient for a future in which other crises with large effects on the sector cannot be excluded. Voices of Culture framed the Brainstorming meeting around three areas of discussion: a) Income for artists and cultural and creative professionals, artists’ status, b) Mobility of artists and other cultural and creative professionals, c) Artistic freedom and freedom of expression.
