Stabilising and strengthening specific activities and effects related to socio-cultural work in terms of cultural diversity, participation in culture and cultural education, regardless of age, background, gender or income; using funding in an efficient and effective manner; supporting structures all year round ("from project to structure"); making funding arrangements more transparent
