More than two years have passed since Creative FLIP kicked-off a new project cycle, continuing to pursue its overall goal, to support a healthy ecosystem for the cultural and creative sectors and industries (CCSI). Supported by the growing community of Creative FLIP project our dedicated consortium of five partners, the Goethe-Institut, European Creative Hubs Network, IDEA Consult, 3s Unternehmensberatung and Intellectual Property Institute Luxembourg, has worked intensively to present you a wide range of topics, tools and activities.
During the final conference, we showcased the project’s main results and continued the exchange with our audience under the slogan
FLIP Forward: Culture & Creativity Beyond Boundaries
On November 15, 2023, over 200 participants gathered at the landmark venue Les Ateliers des Tanneurs in Brussels.
We enjoyed a rich program that shed light on the multifaceted world of the cultural and creative sectors. We exchanged with sector representatives and stakeholders on their views regarding future ambitions for a healthy CCS ecosystem, reaching beyond current boundaries.
This is how we work – the launch of the online platform on the status and working conditions of artists and cultural professionals was only one of many highlights ! We cruised along our flagship initiative, Creatives Unite, and discovered its new look and tools. We engaged in discussions about the power of transformation policies, cross-sectoral cooperation, and platforms for peer exchanges. We inquired about whether we should categorize CCSI occupations and why we need to talk about social inclusion, sustainability, greening, and more transversal topics when discussing the future of the sector.
Throughout the conference day, there were organized guided tours of Les Ateliers des Tanneurs, a pitoresque venue characterized by its Belle Époque-style architecture—a former department store and business building.
