Thus CATALYSE gathers the threenational organisations’ teams within a successfulEuropean cooperation: the Forum d’Avignon(France) as coordinator, Bilbao Metropoli-30(Spain) and the european centre for creativeeconomy (Germany) as co-organisers.Based on the previous experiences’ results, theshared objectives of this project can be definedin the short-term and the long-term:To engage key decision-makers and the generalpublic in Europe to make evident the levereffect of cultural and creative investments –public ones as well as private ones - on the GDPand job creation.To sensitise European cities and citizens aboutthe benefits of integrated strategies to makeculture and creativity catalyse the quality oflife in Europe.To start more cultural and creative actions tofoment sustainable growth and social cohesionin a truly European living-together.Through these goals, this cooperation projectis meeting the three specific objectives of theEU Culture Programme: to support the trans-nationalmobility of people working in the culturalsector, to encourage the trans-national circulationof artistic and cultural works and productsand to encourage intercultural dialogue.0203
