The European Union (EU) Gender Equality Strategy seeks significant progress towards a gender-equal Europe by 2025. All citizens, regardless of their sex, gender identity and expression, sex characteristics, sexual identity; racial or ethnic origin, age, religion or belief and any disability, must be able to pursue their chosen path in life and have equal opportunities to thrive, participate and lead.

All proposals (regardless of the ‘objective’ and ‘priority/ies’ of the call they intend to address) must take into consideration the cross-cutting issues of inclusion and diversity, notably gender equality and greening Creative Europe in the design and the implementation of their project.
