The EU Institutions are negotiating and deciding on their next long-term budget for 2028–2034 (Multi-year Financial Framework), including the funding earmarked for the new AgoraEU programme. This is a crucial moment to speak up for children’s film and media education and make sure our voices are heard.
ECFA and Kids Regio have prepared a lobbying toolbox to help you do just that. Use it as it is or adapt it to your national context and language. Contact your governments, film institutions and Members of the European Parliament before the European Council makes its budget decisions in late November.
Why act now? A negotiation document presented just days ago by the Irish Presidency proposed a 30% cut to the AgoraEU budget. That would affect far more than the organisations currently receiving Creative Europe funding. It would leave all of us with even fewer resources to fulfil our work.
