Project title: Cocreating – Networks: KreATivita&InovaCZe (CON)
Short title: KreATivita&InovaCZe
Project number: ATCZ00045
Programme: Interreg Austria – Czechia 2021–2027
Objectives
The main objective is to make the cultural and creative sector in South Bohemia and Upper Austria more visible and to connect the people who work in it for the long term. The project therefore focuses on what creatives really need:
- workshops and further training tailored to cultural and creative professions,
- cross-border exchange of knowledge and experience,
- long-term networking between creatives and organisations from tourism and culture.
Outputs
The main output will be a joint cross-border strategy for the creative industries. After the project ends, both regions will implement it together. The strategy will be presented to decision-makers on both the Czech and the Austrian side, so that they can use it when drawing up regional and municipal policies.
