PURPLE has recently been participating in the Voices of Culture project whose report "The role of culture in non-urban areas of the European Union" was presented to European Commission officials in late April.

The first chapter "THE ROLE OF CULTURE IN RURAL, PERI-URBAN, IN-BETWEEN AND/OR UN(DER)USED NON-URBAN AREAS" has been written by PURPLE Secretary General and contains a series of twenty five reccommendations for policy makers.

The virtual meeting that was convened to mark the presentation of the paper was attended by representatives of the 40+ organisations who were selected to take part in the Dialogue Group as well as representatuves from DG EAC, DG AGRI and DG REGIO.
