Creative Cities

A new generation of urban influencers and innovators is emerging which recognises that culture and creativity is central to addressing the challenges cities face.

Cities which join the project network have an opportunity to establish competitive advantage for themselves and attract creative talent, and in so doing set the foundations for future economic growth.

The Creative Cities project is running in the UK, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Russia.

During the course of the project these young people will acquire knowledge, networks, skills and tools to give them more influence on decisions made about the urban environment they live in.

This will enable them to make a difference on a range of issues such as: public spaces, arts and social activities, and cultural policy.
