The MoldArte project, financed by EUNIC through the European Spaces for Culture programme, finalised on Friday at the Mihai Eminescu National Theater in Chisinau, inform the organizers in a press release sent to AGERPRES.
"It is an assessment moment when we present the activities organized in 2022 within this project financed by EUNIC Global and organized by the Romanian Cultural Institute, the Goethe Institute and the Austrian Embassy in Chisinau, partners in the EUNIC Chisinau cluster. It is important that the moldarte.eu platform remains open to all cultural organizations and professionals who want to sign up. This very valuable tool sheds light on the cultural scene in the Republic of Moldova at the European level. I assure you that we will continue to capitalize on this resource and we will also make it available to our colleagues with the ICR representation offices worldwide, in order to promote, on appropriate occasions, the cultural actors and initiatives from here on the international level," said Liviu Jicman, president of the Romanian Cultural Institute, at the closing conference of the event.
