The CREACT4MED Annual Conference aims to raise awareness of the role of culture and creativity as a vector for employment and value generation in Southern Mediterranean Countries. The conference will showcase the project’s progress and provides a space for incubators, entrepreneurs, policy-making bodies, regional initiatives and international organizations to present their projects and achievements.

Cultural and creative industries (CCI) are proven to be a source of job creation for young people and to promote innovative, sustainable and inclusive growth, but their potential is currently under-exploited in the Southern Mediterranean.

The CREACT4MED project seeks to strengthen CCI businesses and entrepreneurship in the Southern Neighbourhood of the EU, with a particular focus on young people and women.

The Conference will take place online on 24-25 November 2021 and it will be broadcast live on Facebook.
