A warm welcome to UU Culture & Creativity’s end-of-term event on culture-driven place development. The aim of the afternoon is to create a forum for the exchange of knowledge, inspiration and new collaborations between academia, the public sector, civil society, the business community and the cultural sector.
We will hear about the experiences and insights gained from ten cross-sectoral projects that have been working on culture-driven place development this spring.
The afternoon will also feature a panel discussion on how culture can create more vibrant and sustainable places, as well as an opportunity to learn more about local and international initiatives such as the Anders Sandrew Institute and EIT Culture & Creativity.
Register for the event no later than 10 June
A warm welcome!
