The Culture Programme (2007-2013) is the main EU financial tool to celebrate Europe's common cultural heritage through cooperation initiatives among organisations active in the field of culture. The Programme falls under the responsibility of the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency, under the supervision of the European Commission.

A total budget of € 400,000,000 is allocated to support cultural initiatives promoting cross-border mobility of cultural players, the circulation of artistic and cultural works and products, and intercultural dialogue. A widely-encompassing area of cultural fields is eligible for support. Among the others: cultural heritage, music, performing arts, visual and plastic arts, literature, books and reading, translation and festival organisation.
