Description of the policy/measure
In 2014-2015 a group of around 25 member states worked on the 8th key competence "cultural awareness and expression", following a transversal approach, with representatives of both the education and culture sectors. they produced a handbook for policy-makers, disseminated in 2016 in european and national events and websites (european culture forum in brussels, structured dialogue/voices of culture meetings in brussels, creativity week in latvia…). member states expressed that although culture and education are the main means to tackle cultural awareness and expression, it is indeed a very wide-ranging topic, which concerns many policy sectors. this competence encompasses three major features:art history and artistic skillscreativity and innovationcontribution to social cohesion and identitythe latter being all the more crucial in a period in which openness, optimism and tolerance are placed under such strain in europe. in 2016, following the adoption of the new european skills agenda, the commission has launched a review of the key competences, including cultural awareness and expression.
