Culture is interpreted in different ways throughout the EU from preservation of buildings, to performing, fine and visual arts, literature, history and economic development. The diverse nature of this interpretation is reflected in the EU’s cultural policy, which emphasises the value of a common cultural area characterised by cultural diversity and shared cultural heritage.

The financial instrument Culture 2007 supports cultural policy. Culture 2007 runs between 2007-2013. It grants subsidies to cultural cooperation projects in all areas of art and culture (performing arts, fine and visual arts, literature, cultural heritage and history).
