For the Council of Europe – Steering Committee for Culture, Heritage and Landscape
A report in June 2020 provided a first analysis on the tremendous impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the cultural and creative sector (CCS). The present document aims to give an update on the situation and to propose policy recommendations to the Council of Europe. The COVID-19 pandemic has wounded sociality and limited the possibility to stay together: the essence of many forms of art. The report was presented to the Member States of the Council of Europe on 10 November.
