The new website will share information and responses relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting lockdown among cultural and creative sectors.
Creatives Unite offers a common space for all those looking for information about cultural and creative sector initiatives responding to the coronavirus crisis. It gives access in one single space to the multitude of existing resources and numerous relevant networks and organisations. It also offers a space to co-create and upload contributions towards finding solutions together.
Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth said:
“The Coronavirus is having a devastating economic impact on the cultural and creative sectors. This online platform will provide a forum for cultural and creative sectors to share ideas and initiatives and co-create solutions thanks to their creativity in response to the crisis. A platform by the sector, for the sector.”
The platform was launched with the support of the Commission after the EU Culture Ministers’ video conference of 8th April when Commissioner Gabriel announced the initiative.
Creative FLIP, a pilot project of the European Parliament managed by the European Commission, helps to run and curate the Platform. This Pilot Project is implemented by the Goethe Institut in cooperation with the European Creative Hubs Network and several partners.
