One of the most successful Creative Europe Desks

Motovila oversees the successful operation of the Creative Europe Desk, the national information office for the promotion of the EU Creative Europe programme for the cultural and creative sectors. Since 2014, more than 130 Slovenian organizations have participated in the EU programme, some of which have received support multiple times. Between 2014 and 2020, Slovenian coordinators received over 24 million EUR in support funds.

We are proud to have contributed to this development through our work. Since 2014, we have organized more than 185 events, which featured 290 domestic and foreign experts, and more than 8,900 participants.

Ced Logo Bw EngAs part of CED Slovenia’s 2014–2020 activities, we provided comprehensive support to the domestic sector: from professional support in all phases of tender procedures, to intensive promotion of supported organizations and projects both at home and abroad. In addition, we offered individuals and organizations in the cultural and creative sectors, including the audio-visual sector, the relevant knowledge and competencies without which Slovenian applicants participating in the extremely competitive European system would not be as successful in drawing EU funds and implementing complex international projects.

Motovila Srecanje Uspesno Ustvarjalno 2018 Fotokatjagoljat M5In December 2018, Mateja Demšič, Head of the Department of Culture of the City of Ljubljana, congratulated the representatives of Motovila and several other successful organizations at a City Hall reception. We were pleased to receive the acknowledgment that “Motovila has achieved more in five years than any other support organization.” Ms Demšič also emphasized that the City’s cooperation with the sector and Motovila was key to establishing a mechanism for co-financing projects with the support of Creative Europe.

It was in fact in 2018 that the City of Ljubljana first issued a call for Ljubljana-based organizations that received the support of Creative Europe, which has also been a part of the City’s cultural development strategy.

Activities implemented by CED Slovenia are supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia, the Directorate General for Education and Culture (DG EAC) as well as the Directorate General for the Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT) of the European Commission.
