This article is called “snapshots” for a reason. Different European programmes, policies and opportunities exist today, and in this field new ones appear regularly. It is possible then to speak about “snapshots” as a picture of some of these programmes, policies and opportunities without aiming to be comprehensive or up to date in the long run. These snapshots focus on the Council of Europe and the European Commission, while there are also other international institutions doing work in Europe (UNESCO, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, or the OSCE¹, just to name some).
