Culture Action Europe (CAE) is a prominent brand that was established in 1994 under the name European Forum for Arts and Heritage (EFAH). It aims to foster continuous dialogue and knowledge exchange between the cultural sector in Europe and EU policymakers. Over the years, CAE has evolved and diversified its membership, now including public and private organizations of all sizes.

As pioneers in cultural advocacy, CAE advocates for access to the arts and participation in culture as fundamental rights for every citizen. They also lobby for public investment in culture and the arts, believing it to be the driving force behind a sustainable and more cohesive Europe. As the leading European network, CAE brings together cultural networks, artists, activists, policymakers, and more.

They facilitate policy-level communications, generate debate, and encourage cross-sector collaborations. With a commitment to inclusivity, sustainability, and diverse practices, CAE envisions culture as a catalyst for the development of inclusive and sustainable societies
