CALL FOR APPLICATIONS COMING SOON

Following the success of the [Ambassadors of Change in 2021], tackling the challenges of Covid-19 through virtual peer-to-peer learnings, the goal of this programme is to identify and showcase exemplary practices and allow stakeholders with similar aspirations to learn and exchange on the question of how local communities in rural and remote areas are revitalise through culture and creativity.

Creative FLIP strongly believes in culture and creativity as crucial actors for the transformation of rural and remote areas. There are many examples where such initiatives have been pivotal in regenerating and bringing change to areas facing e.g. depopulation, and deindustrialisation.

Through a 5-days programme of exchanges and learning, the Ambassadors of Good Practice will act as hosts, coaches and counsellors, providing insights about their initiative and offering a platform for exchange with their visitors from the CCSI.

Through an Open Call in 2025, Creative FLIP will look for :

1) Host organisations: CCSI organisations (for profit or non-profit) or local/ regional authorities, who have successfully implemented innovative and inspiring local regeneration practices through culture and creative activities outside of urban areas.

2) Their visitors: Representatives of CCSI organisations (for profit and non-profit) or local/regional authorities with compatible aspirations.

The peer learning will consist of a rich and varied programme of learning, demonstration, co-creation and networking including, for example: study visits, workshops/seminars, co-creation/presentation activities, job-shadowing, skills exchange and/or networking with local stakeholders. 

STAY TUNED!
