Following its first thematic workshop entitled "Creative clusters: diversifying local economic base & opportunities to young people", Creative Clusters project will hold its second thematic workshop "Creative Education: incubating future talent" on 6 & 7 May, 2010 at the University of Reggio Emilia in Italy.

Creative Clusters is an URBACT project made up of 10 European cities looking for joint, effective and sustainable solutions in the field of urban creative clusters. The fundamental assumption is that creative issues in local economic development are also a functional pattern not just in metropolitan hubs. Even more, creativity as source of innovation should act as a cross cutting approach to re-think economic and social development in small and medium-sized towns, considering new opportunities related to accessibility, community life, culture and creativity-based business models. During the 2008-2011 period, the project is working on five key sub-themes:

  • Creative clusters: diversifying local economic base and opportunities to young people;
  • Events and cultural agendas as catalysts;
  • Promoting the creative city: a new range of facilities and infrastructures;
  • Creative entrepreneurs and talented people: attraction and retaining;
  • Setting the basis: creative educational environments at local level.

During the event, interactive thematic workshops will focus on creativity in the school, business models on creative education, university facing the creativity economy and promoting the local creative ecosystem in medium-sized towns.

The steering Committee of the Creative Clusters project will fill the programme of the second day together with a study trip and some social events. It will include a visit to the International Centre Loris Malaguzzi for children education and the Reggio Children space as well as the E-learning centre of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.

Participation in the one-day thematic workshop is free although registration is mandatory. Contact the local organization desk to ask for a registration form.
