Artistic Minds has released two new cross-national reports examining how six European countries: Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Poland, and Spain, are addressing key themes such as inclusion, digitalisation, access, mental health, and support for disadvantaged young artists, particularly within the cultural and creative sectors. 

The policy report offers a comparative analysis of national and EU-level frameworks, evaluating the effectiveness and inclusiveness of current cultural and social policies. It outlines the current landscape, identifies implementation challenges, and provides targeted recommendations for translating policy into practice. 

The practices report highlights real-world initiatives, mapping inclusive methodologies and exploring how digital tools and mental health support are integrated into artistic work. Particular focus is given to how these practices meet the needs of disadvantaged youth, especially those with disabilities. 

Together, the reports provide a snapshot of innovative strategies and growing commitments to fostering a more inclusive and accessible cultural landscape across Europe.

The project is co-funded by the European Union.
