Presidencia UE 2010

Spanish Presidency of the European Union. Culture

During the first half of 2010, Spain will preside over the European Council.

The Ministry of Culture will be presiding over the Education, Youth and Culture Council, in all culture-related matters. On this website you can consult the strategic lines that the Ministry will be following during its presidency and the programme of activities organised around the presidency.

The Spanish presidency work programme aims to ensure progress is made in achieving the objectives set out in the European Agenda for Culture and in the process of making culture a feature of the new Lisbon Strategy and other European policies, such as the social cohesion and innovation policies, and in strengthening European cultural identity.

With these objectives, the Spanish presidency of the EU will continue working on matters addressed by preceding presidencies, but will also develop new initiatives, which fall into the two following basic areas:

  • Culture as a factor in local and regional development.
  • The development of cultural and creative content in the digital sphere.
