The European Cultural Foundation teamed up with Culture Action Europe to map emergency initiatives and measures carried out across Europe that address the effects of the Covid-19 outbreak on culture, arts, creative sectors, with the aim to identify key challenges and possible gaps, or needs, yet unaddressed by the policymakers.
