We had originally planned a major conference on culture and an international media conference closely linked to the Global Media Forum in Bonn, with participants from all over the world. Instead, overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we held a work meeting of EU culture ministers and organised a purely digital conference series on media policy issues. The two main conferences in the culture and media sector during Germany’s Council Presidency are examples of the many events whose organisation demanded a high level of flexibility and creativity as well as the firm resolve to strengthen Europe’s unity in diversity in the time of COVID-19.
