About Culture programme
The aim of the Culture Programme is to encourage and support cultural cooperation within Europe in order to bring the European common cultural heritage to the fore. The Programme proposes funding opportunities to all cultural sections and all categories of cultural operators contributing to the development of cultural cooperation at European level, with a view to encouraging the emergence of European citizenship.
It mainly promotes the trans-national mobility of cultural players, the trans-national circulation of artistic and cultural works and products and the intercultural dialogue.
With a total budget of 400 million EUR for 2007 – 2013 the Programme allows to co-finance around 230 different cultural actions per year.
The programme guide, focusing on most parts of the Culture Programme, contains all the essential conditions to apply for funding. It introduces a fixed Calendar until 2013 and provides cultural operators with the whole set of funding opportunities under this Programme until 2013.

OUR EVENTS
4 November, 2009 Forum for Creative Society: Linking Arts, Education and Business
The Office of the President of the Republic of Lithuania, the Seimas Committee on Education, Science and Culture, and the International Cultural Programmes Centre initiated a conference „Forum for creative society: linking arts, education and business“ which aimed to open up „disciplinary“ boundaries and encourage dialogue between culture and arts, education and business sectors. The Forum addresses the notion of creative partnerships in terms of the relationships between artists, arts and education institutions, as well as between arts and business.
18 June, 2009 „Future City Game“ in Ukmerge
„Future City Game“ is a team based process designed to create new thinking and action to improve quality of lives in cities. The game was organized in Ukmerge, one of the oldest settlements in Lithuania. Despite the colourful history, a vibrant cultural scene and favourable geographical location, Ukmerge’s image is low and people in Lithuania do not know much about the city. The game challenged the residents of Ukmergė to come up with the best ideas for positioning their city, i.e. to create a complete and distinctive image strategy for Ukmerge.
