Stichting H401 is a member of Culture Action Europe (CAE), Brussels.
CAE is the major European network of cultural networks, organisations, artists, activists, academics and policymakers. CAE is the first port of call for informed opinion and debate about arts and cultural policy in the EU. As the only intersectoral network, it brings together all practices in culture, from the performing arts to literature, the visual arts, design and cross-arts initiatives, to community centres and activist groups. CAE believes in the value and values of culture and its contribution to the development of sustainable and inclusive societies.
Since 2020 CAE together with their partners European Cultural Foundation and Europa Nostra launched the campaign #CulturalDealEU.

#CulturalDealEU is looking ahead to 2024 and beyond, they formulated a renewed call on the European Union, EU Member States, and wider Europe to, read here: Cultural Deal.
