Scope:

Projects ensuring pan-European cooperation and innovation, based on a robust needs’ analysis of audiences, especially targeting young audiences, using evidence-based strategies, aiming to:

- increase interest in, knowledge of and access to audiences, in particular young ones, to European films including dedicated programmes on film heritage and other audiovisual works,
