€8.6 billion—that’s the amount the European Commission is proposing for the new AgoraEU programme in the next EU long-term budget 2028-2034. The programme will support culture, media and civil society and will build on the success of Creative Europe and the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme. Of that, €1.8 billion is earmarked for the Creative Europe – Culture strand, €3.2 billion for the Media+ strand, and €3.6 billion for the Democracy, Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values strand.
