Euromed Audiovisual II

A programme aiming at enhancing Euro-Mediterranean audiovisual co-operation.
Euromed Audiovisual II is geared towards professionals, institutions and national organizations in the audiovisual field from the following countries and territories: Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, the Palestinian Authority, Tunisia and Turkey, in order to create sustainable networks between the professionals of the two shores of the Mediterranean.

For the period 2007-2013, the EU’s development action in the field of culture is financed through two types of instruments:
* the implementation of the policy at national and regional level is supported by geographical instruments, such as the European Development Fund (in the ACP countries), the Development Co-operation Instrument (in Latin America, Asia and South Africa), and the European Neighbourhood & Partnership Instrument (in the neighbouring regions);
* the thematic programme Investing in people, where 50 million € are allocated to the culture strand under the heading "Access to local culture, protection and promotion of cultural diversity", focuses on the development of policies that allow better access to and preservation of local culture and on offering opportunities for cultural exchange and strengthening contacts between cultural actors as a way of allowing multicultural and multiethnic dialogue aimed at the improvement of mutual understanding and respect, and preservation of local and indigenous culture and values.
