Series to Change the World

Creativity & Talent

Sponsored by the Council of Europe Pilot Programme for Series Co-productions

Can great drama drive real-world change? Scripted series are unmatched in their power to shape public perception and spark societal shifts. This session explores narratives tackling today’s pressing issues: environmental urgency, consent, human rights, gender-based violence, and systemic discrimination. Join visionary creators for a behind-the-scenes look at how diverse European voices are championing pluralism, shifting global conversations, and proving that compelling storytelling is the first step toward a better world.

The Initiative is intended to strengthen public and industry dialogue on the cultural and democratic significance of series co-productions. It is implemented with the support of the Pilot Programme for Series Co-productions, an initiative of the Council of Europe, home of Eurimages.
