The European programme “Culture 2000” (2000-2006) encourages Europe’s common cultural identity and its sense of citizenship through the support it gives to a wide range of artistic activities. Take Cork for example, the European Capital of Culture for 2005, where Estonian artists are currently presenting their masterpieces. Meanwhile, Glasgow is today hosting the exhibition entitled “Art Nouveau in project”, currently on its grand tour of Europe. These two projects illustrate exactly the kind of priorities under discussion for support under the 2007 Culture programme.

We're here in the center of Cork on St. Patrick's Bridge, where this time tomorrow we will launch 00:00:00
Cork 2005, the European Capital of Culture, with a great river spectacle and pyrotechnic 00:00:06
fireworks show. 00:00:12
Cork launched its festivities for 2005 on the second weekend in January. Following thirty 00:00:14
or so other cities, including Lille, Genoa, Graz, Thessaloniki and Brussels, the Irish 00:00:19
city of Cork is the European Capital of Culture 2005. 00:00:24
Established in 1985, the project was the brainchild of the Greek Minister of Culture, Melina Mercouri, 00:00:29
and is supported by the European Union. For a year, concerts, street theatre and exhibitions 00:00:35
will transform Cork into a special meeting place for artists and for citizens from all 00:00:41
over Europe. 00:00:46
Sean Martin is the Mayor of Cork and, as he likes to remind everyone, the city has long 00:00:50
been a melting pot for a variety of cultures. 00:00:54
Cork has always been a seaport, has always had links with Europe and beyond, going back 00:00:58
to centuries, and we had various migrations over the centuries as well to Ireland, like 00:01:03
the Danes, the Normans, French Huguenots, we had Spanish, Italians, so there has always 00:01:08
been that interaction with Europe, and I think now in the 21st century, it gives us an opportunity 00:01:14
to actually put on display the cultural activity and artistic fibre that is very viable in the city. 00:01:20
A great opportunity for the small city on the edge of Europe to come closer to the rest 00:01:26
of the continent. 00:01:30
It's first of all an opportunity for a city and increasingly for small cities in Europe 00:01:34
to promote themselves in a very different way, through cultural activity, through artistic 00:01:42
activity, across the whole spectrum of whatever that activity is, really to announce to the 00:01:48
rest of Europe that they can take on such a major year-long event. 00:01:55
Jan Fiegel is the new European Commissioner for Culture. He's responsible for the management 00:02:03
of the Culture 2000 programme, of which the European Capital of Culture initiative is 00:02:08
a flagship. 00:02:12
I think this is one of the best examples of cultural cooperation in the European Union. 00:02:14
One of the exhibitions at the Cork Vision Centre is entitled Enlargement. 00:02:21
It's a very simple concept. It is about bringing the ten new, in inverted commas, EU member 00:02:28
states together here in Cork over the duration of the whole year, with each of the countries 00:02:36
getting a month in our centre here to display their, I suppose, their leading-edge young 00:02:44
contemporary artists. 00:02:50
And in January, Estonia is represented with the FFFF Fun for my family. 00:02:55
A creative look at their own country through which these Estonian artists question the 00:03:02
notion of identity, the gap which exists between fantasy and reality, as shown in these photographs 00:03:07
where they're portrayed in imaginary lives. 00:03:13
The FFFF also takes an ironic look at Estonian identity. 00:03:16
Estonians got the best of everything. Estonians are always one step ahead of everybody else, 00:03:24
although they are a totally unknown European tribe. 00:03:29
Europe is a community of cultures. We want to stay in unity with the Estonian people. 00:03:43
We want to stay with diversity. And both sides of this equation need to work much more 00:04:13
to build up unity, but preserve diversity. And culture plays a big role in this. 00:04:20
What's more, being European Capital of Culture re-energises an entire city, mobilising the 00:04:27
whole population around a unifying venture, as was the case in the French city of Lille 00:04:32
in 2004. 00:04:37
I think the European Capital of Culture initiative is very interesting, because they last the 00:04:39
whole year, and so for citizens it is a chance to really immerse themselves in their roots 00:04:44
and their culture. But it's also an opportunity for Europeans to travel and come as far as 00:04:48
Cork. We had nearly 70% more visitors to Lille in a year who came especially for that reason, 00:04:53
and that's very, very good. 00:04:58
In 1990 the city of Glasgow in Scotland was designated European City of Culture. 00:05:01
Today, the city is hosting an exhibition which illustrates how ideas, cultural trends 00:05:07
and people can move around Europe. 00:05:12
The lighthouse was built by Macintosh, and today is one of the finest examples of the 00:05:16
regeneration of an Art Nouveau building in the city. 00:05:20
From November 2004 to January 2005, this cultural centre presented the Art Nouveau in Progress 00:05:23
exhibition. 00:05:29
This exhibition is called Art Nouveau in Progress, and it looks at the state of the Art Nouveau 00:05:31
heritage in a number of European cities. It looks at Art Nouveau buildings or heritage 00:05:39
that have been lost. 00:05:46
