Arts and Culture plays an important role to reinforce understanding between Asia and Europe. ASEF undertakes innovative programmes in cultural cooperation, sustaining various mechanisms for dialogue, the exchange of ideas, as well as sharing of information and best practices in the field of arts, culture and new media. Programmes in this area allow peers from diverse backgrounds to explore creativity, art and artistic practices in different contexts, such as using the internet as a tool for co-operation and   participating in workshops, seminars and conferences. Under this theme, ASEF engages various cultural practitioners such as photographers, dancers, museum professionals, choreographers and musicians, as well as policy makers and journalists.
