Uniting Cultures as the Catalyst of Multilateralism

Research Paper by Borja Saez

15.12.2020


Abstract

Increasing EU multilateralism? Two cultural policy proposals: (1) an international co-production film program and prize focused on connecting cultures and reflecting on values, (2) temporary exhibition of art pieces in the countries of origin via a museum cooperation program.

The paper aims at analyzing how multilateralism can be catalyzed by the promotion of cultural policies and Europe’s values through connecting cultures of different societies. It proposes two policies that create a bottom-up approach connecting societies first and then driving governments to strengthen the cooperation and agreements with the EU. First, an international co-production film program and prize award. Both are focused on bringing cultures closer to each other —facilitating their understanding—, on the illustration of European values and on sparking the reflection on the importance and implications of these values. Second, a temporary exhibition of art pieces in their country of origin through the creation of a museum cooperation program, building a common heritage between the EU and third countries.
