THE FUTURE OF CULTURAL AND CREATIVE INDUSTRIES
jun 23
On 27 April 2010, the European Commission, DG Education and Culture, has launched an online public consultation open till 30th July 2010 aimed at gathering views on various issues impacting the cultural and creative industries in Europe, from business environment to the need to open up a common European space for culture, from capacity building to skills development and promotion of European creators on the world stage, and at unlocking the full potential of Europe's cultural and creative industries.
The consultation is linked to a new Green Paper entitled “Unlocking the potential of cultural and creative industries” which highlights the need to improve access to finance, especially for small businesses, as key to enabling the sector to flourish and to contribute to sustainable and inclusive growth.
The responses to the consultation will inform the Commission and help it ensure that EU programmes and policies involving cultural and creative industries are "fit for purpose".
