The URBACT Creative Clusters project is going to complete its programme of exchange and learning activities. The 10 European partners have worked during three years on dealing with creative clusters in low density urban areas. Entitled 'Creative Footprint - The next big step will be a lot of small steps', the final conference of the project will take place in the Lead Partner city of Obidos (Portugal) on 9 June, 2011.

Creative Clusters is an URBACT project testing how quite small cities with a rural hinterland, can generate a dynamic creative environment and creative industries. The starting assumption of this project is that creativity can act as a driving force for economic development of small urban centres and not only of big cities. Its aim is to transfer the "creative city model" (too much focused on big and middle-sized metropolis) to low density urban areas.

If you are interested in exploring these exciting opportunities you are kindly invited to the closing conference of the Creative Clusters project. You will be presented with new tools, interesting initiatives and forward looking debate. Register by email at conferencias@cm-obidos.pt.

Conference speakers will include the Mayor of Obidos, Telmo Faria, Creative Clusters Lead Expert, Miguel Rivas, as well as representatives of the project partners.
