Tomorrow’s world poses multiple threats to Europe’s most fundamental values. In the cultural and creative fields as much as in politics, value wars and battles for sense-making are already being fiercely fought. It is time for the European Union (EU) to shift from cultural resilience to cultural resistance and to creatively support freedom fighting movements worldwide on behalf of ‘Resistant Liberalism’. The new enlargement wave is an opportunity for Europeans to widen the scope of EU competences in external cultural action. The European Parliament should initiate a new phase of EU foreign policy by supporting qualified majority voting (QMV) for external cultural matters; encouraging fresh thinking on the cultural and creative dimensions of systemic climate, natural, technological, and societal transformations; and advocating for the creation of a European Culture Facility (or EU external action agency).
