The cultural sector has the capacity to be both a source of European identity and the setting for the development of innovative activities that boost job creation. European and national political authorities are aware of the need to resolve the unemployment problem which has become of vital importance to European integration. The cultural sector covers a wide range of economic and industrial activities. It includes activities connected with heritage, literature, press, music, entertainment arts, media and the audiovisual sector. Given the recent increase in cultural production and demand, the context industries represent an area of social interaction and economic activity in the present concept of the European Union. Europe’s cultural heritage enriches our lives and provides inspiration for our cultural and creative industries. It enables economic growth, employment and social cohesion.
