Call for projects “UNESCO-Aschberg Programme for Artists and Cultural Professionals”
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) launches a call open to governments and public institutions, as well as civil society organizations, to support initiatives aimed at protecting and promoting the status of the artist and artistic freedom.
This call for projects aims to support government and civil society-led initiatives that protect and promote the status of the artist and artistic freedom in its broad sense, as recognised by UNESCO – that is, encompassing a bundle of rights protected under international law, including:
- The right to create without censorship or intimidation
- The right to have artistic work supported, distributed, and remunerated
- Artists’ right to freedom of movement
- Artists’ right to freedom of association
- The protection of the social and economic rights of artists
- Everyone’s right to participate in cultural life
