Prav tako so priporočila ponudila niz konkretnih predlogov, uporaba katerih bi omogočila razvoj neodvisne kulture ter vzpodbudila realizacijo sodelujočih projektov, kot tudi stalnih partnerstev med organizacijami v regiji in partnerji iz ostale Evrope. V septembru 2011 je bila objavljena večjezična publikacija Exit Europe – nove geografije kulture, knjiga, ki prostor delovanja neodvisne kulturne scene uvršča v širši kulturni i družbeni kontekst.

From 2008 the network focused on joint action towards decision-makers to advocate positive changes and development of sustainable model of cooperation on the independent cultural scene in the region and towards the EU. From 2009 until 2011 a public consultation process, called Exit Europe, was implemented. The central event was the international conference Exit Europe – New Geographies of Culture, held in Zagreb in November 2009. It was preceded by two pre-conference events organized in Sarajevo and Skopje in October the same year. In an extensive discussion, those events critically reviewed the parallel processes of defining European cultural policies and the expansion of the Union to the countries of the region from the perspective of the independent cultural scene. A visible result of those joint efforts referred to the drafting of and advocating for the Position paper of Policy Recommendations aimed at the cultural decision-makers at the EU, national and local levels. The independent cultural scene brought to their attention the need to adopt measures to encourage the cultural development of the countries in the region and improve their reintegration into the common European space. Likewise, the recommendations offered a number of specific suggestions, the implementation of which would enable the development of independent culture and encourage the realization of collaborative projects, as well as lasting partnerships between organizations in the region, and with partners in the rest of Europe. In September 2011 a multilingual publication Exit Europe – New Geographies of Europe was published; a book that positions the activity of independent cultural scene within a wider cultural and social context. It gives an overview of the development of independent cultural scenes in 5 countries, as well as a broad overview of the development of regional cultural cooperation among independent organizations.
