The Cypriot agenda for culture, presented in Brussels, emphasizes the connection between culture, the media, and democratic resilience, treating them as a unified policy area. Particular importance is given to media literacy as a cultural and educational policy. Cyprus is promoting a new legal basis for the European Capital of Culture after 2033, focusing on the institutional evolution of the program and the preparation of a new strategic framework. Finally, the importance of protecting cultural heritage in times of crisis is highlighted, with reference to the challenges facing cultural heritage in the occupied areas of Cyprus and the illicit trafficking of cultural goods.
