The work process towards a European Resolution on Culture for Values, Democracy and Citizenship is meant to be collaborative,
gathering as much input as possible from European citizens. This paper should be considered as “food for thought” and will be
discussed both online and in the framework of all Cultural Coalition activities over the next year. The ideas from the discussions
will be gathered and integrated to make the text a strong proposal.
The next stage will be launched with the conclusions of a major joint project on 3 March: the Berlin Conference 2014, produced
under the High Patronage of the European Parliament and with the participation of the leaders of the main political parties of
Europe. From there we envision that the document will be taken up as a proposal for a resolution in the European Parliament
and it will eventually inspire action in the European Council and the Member States as well as the local level. The outcomes of
the entire process of development in 2013 and early 2014 will be taken up in this debate and the final concepts and visions will
be launched just prior to the elections
