Initiated by the EU Delegation, the “EU-Vietnam Sustainable Design Awards” (EVSDA) project is committed to the proliferation of sustainable design practices in Vietnam, and the development of communities around these practices; in doing so, the aim is to ultimately contribute to Vietnam’s sustainable inclusive development – indeed one of the priorities in the EU’s engagement with the country. Led by European and Vietnamese design experts, the workshops aim to create ample opportunities for professional and in-depth exchanges and collaboration in sustainable creative design. 

The aim of this workshop is to facilitate the exchange of insights and different perspectives, in order to explore the current state of EU-Armenia cultural relations, identify key gaps and needs of the sector, and discuss priority areas and opportunities for collaboration. This dialogue will help shape future strategies and ensure alignment with the broader goals of supporting Armenia’s cultural sector and strengthening cultural cooperation.

Jointly organised by the Cultural Relations Platform and the European External Action Service (EEAS), this workshop is to improve knowledge and collaboration among various stakeholders, including EU institutions, international organizations, think tanks, academia, philanthropic entities, and civil society organizations. The goal is to explore the potential of International Cultural Relations amid complex geopolitical dynamics, identify approaches to foster multilateral cooperation, and evaluate recent developments in Cultural Diversity and Artistic Freedom.

This workshop will see the participation of 50+ participants, representing EU institutions and CCS organisation, together with Ukrainian authorities and cultural practitioners. The event will be the occasion to discuss how to strengthen EU-Ukraine collaboration and support the resilience of the Ukrainian cultural and creative sectors.
