Creative FLIP, Final conference

FLIPPING THE FUTURE

Shaping policy, taking action

21-22 June 2021

In its Final Conference, the Creative FLIP project showcases its experience and outputs of more than two years’ work on issues central to the CCSIs: Finance, Learning, Innovation and Patenting/IP.

The project was launched in 2019 with the goal to address the existing systemic problems in the CCSI ecosystem. We worked on stocktaking of policies and actions and developing new notions and instruments. During the project, Covid-19 pandemic hit society and further emphasized the pre-existing underlying problems and the necessity of strengthening CCSIs to make both the sectors and society more future-proof. During the Creative FLIP final conference, we wish to present our contributions towards achieving this goal as well as to discuss co-creating good policies and taking meaningful actions for a more resilient and future-proof sector!

Join us in

FLIPPING THE FUTURE

Day 1

Shaping policy

How to support the cultural and creative sectors to become more future-proof themselves and, at the same time, further empower them in taking part in the development of a future-proof society?

We need policies that acknowledge the value of the Cultural and Creative Sectors for society and enable them to function across all policy domains, on a local, regional, national and European level. The full value of the CCS will only be realised when they are supported to become a stronger sector. That is why we also need policies that identify the needs of the sector timely and efficiently, support innovation, co-creation, acces2finance, research, new business models, IP-protection and lifelong learning.

Day 2

Taking action

What tools have been developed in the context of Creative FLIP to support the sector and tackle the challenges of tomorrow?

Communities within the CCSIs are keen on working together, as well as with other sectors, to face the challenges they experience to become stronger. We need actions that fit the sector and at the same time empower CCSIs to transform the world around them. Through pilot actions and stakeholder consultations, Creative FLIP has produced tools and resources for and with cultural and creative communities to support them in achieving this aim.

Parallel Workshops

1) FLIP2Act, a collaborative Serious Game to break down the silos

Have you ever played a serious game about finance? If not, join our workshop! During this session, we will present and play FLIP2Act, a serious game for policy makers, financiers, intermediaries and CCS, to stimulate cooperative thinking and break down the silos. You will be confronted with challenges to solve in a cooperative manner, characters to impersonate, unforeseen events to tackle and much more!

 

2) Discover the So You Need Money Guidebook

Are you working in the cultural or creative sectors and are you looking for finance? Are you a policy maker or an intermediary advising cultural and creative operators on the right financing sources? Are you a funder or an investor? Then join our workshop and learn about the So You Need Money Guidebook that we developed in Creative FLIP! During this interactive session, we will present the guidebook, share tips and insights on how to move through the financing jungle, by reflecting on what are your needs and values and what values different types of financiers are looking for.

 

3) P2P Ambassadors of change 

You are part of or interested in the world of Creative Hubs? What did you do to face the challenges that the pandemic brought to your hub? How did you stay connected with your team? Did you try innovative concepts – and did they work? If these questions raise your interest, then come join our Ambassadors of Change for a session of shared experiences and inspiring case studies. This session is open to all interested participants!

Ambassadors of Change are part of the Creative FLIP Peer2Peer Program. Adapting to the unordinary circumstances of the pandemic, a third round of P2P Exchange Program was launched, focusing on good practice examples from Creative Hubs.
