ARTE G.E.I.E

As a public service television channel, ARTE showcases Europe’s rich cultural diversity. Its purpose is “to conceive and produce television programmes which, in a broad sense, are cultural and international in character and conducive to promoting understanding and cooperation between European nations”. Its originality lays in the fact that it targets audiences from different cultural backgrounds, in particular French and German. Documentaries account for 40% of Arte’s programming, 85% of programmes produced in Europe.
