Shaping the future of cultural and creative policies in Europe.

Roadmap 2025

The Cities & Regions Network welcomes policymakers and representatives of professional associations in Europe connecting competencies and backgrounds from diverse departments, sectors, and policy domains. Through the C&RN, Delegates across Europe collaborate to identify societal challenges, co-create forms of peer learning and transform policy frameworks to foster resilience and social cohesion for and through CCSIs.

Innovation in CCSI policies

The Cities & Regions Network addresses a systemic gap in policy making whereby the Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries (CCSI) are under-represented in economic, cultural and research policies.

 

The aim is to grow into a mission-driven community for inspiration, learning, integration, and empowerment open to policymakers from all governance levels and sectors.
