The 24 and 25 November do not miss the new Social&Creative Innovation Camp #2!

This second camp is focused on Industrial Transformation and is part of a series of 3 virtual events addressing specific themes on which the Community of creatives and social innovators of the Mediterranean is working: open innovation for society (27 May, 2021), industrial transformation (24 November, 2021) and sustainable development (March 2022).

The Camp is open to practitioners, policymakers, field experts, stakeholders, civil servants, SMEs and start-ups, PanoraMED representatives, Social&Creative partners and associates, and S&C modular projects. It is composed of two different moments.

The morning conference is scheduled on 24 November, 10 am-1 pm CET with no limits for participants. It will be in English, with simultaneous translation into Italian. Thanks to the involvement of leading experts and the sharing of the experiences of successful cases of industrial transformation and CCIs we will try to identify the most significant challenges that cultural and creative industries must face and to understand how to connect their potential to old and new markets.

The Focus and Working groups online session is split into two half-day workshops that are linked (24 November, 2.30 – 5.30 pm CET; 25 November, 10 am – 1 pm CET). They are conceived as dynamic and participatory workshops where we want to understand the transferability potential for methodologies, tools and services designed and developed in past modular projects for a greater impact and the feasibility to be adapted and implemented in other places. You can choose one of the 4 topics: Internationalisation strategies for accessing new SI & CCIs markets (Chebec project); Upskilling and reskilling for new job opportunities in social and creative sectors in a changing labour market (+Resilient project); Innovative clustering for inter-sectoral dynamisation of the SI & CCIs sectors (Smath project) and Creativity-based Innovation driving Industrial Transformation  (CreativeWear project).

Both the conference and Focus and Working group session share the focus Industrial Transformation but you can attend them independently.

More info are also available on the Community website.

The Innovation Camp #2 is organized within the Interreg MED Social&Creative Community, led by Puglia Region.
