On July 23, 2012, starting at 10:00 a.m. Dance and Non-Verbal Theatre Festival San Vincenti will host a seminar on the EU Culture Programme 2007-2013. On the national level the Culture Programme is implemented and coordinated by the Cultural Contact Point within the Croatian Ministry of Culture.

The Programme is intended for cultural public and private institutions to help them fund current joint projects between EU and numerous Croatian partners and cultural institutions. It offers a wide range of cooperation and activity on European level, and this seminar is intended to provide information on the types of projects, forms of project partnerships, and on how to apply.

The seminar will open with a welcome speech by the Festival's artistic director Snježana Abramović Milković, followed by the presentation of the Culture Programme 2007-2013 by Martina Borovac Pečarević, head of the Cultural Contact Point department, who will also announce a new EU programme for the cultural and audiovisual sectors called Creative Europe. Mladen Špehar of the same department will elaborate on the requirements for programme participation, focusing on the technical aspects of projects from how to complete and send the application file to how to partner project proposals and budget the project. He will also present Strand 1.3.6: Support to European cultural festivals.

Gordana Vnuk, artistic director of Eurokaz and Davor Mišković, chair of the non-profit organization Drugo more (the Other Sea), will provide practical information and speak about their experience in implementing and participating in projects they coordinated.
