CAST CREATIVE HUBS - CAST INITIATIVE

http://cast-initiative.eu/

Creative hubs play a pivotal role in supporting creative entrepreneurs and companies by bringing together professionals and creatives in creative industries, which has an indirect impact on the local communities. This led to the CCI4Tourism project’s decision to establish a network of creative hubs that has reciprocally strengthened and developed the capacities of the participating creative hubs.

The creative hubs in the network are specific, boast diverse specialized capabilities, and offer a wide range of training programs, tutoring, and business services.

The establishment of the creative hub network as part of the CCI4Tourism project falls under the project’s broader initiative towards the Creative and Sustainable Tourism Initiative Network (CAST).

The CAST network’s main priority tasks include forging creative partnerships, supporting sustainable practices and new business models in the tourism sector, and cultural heritage protection. The CAST Network will produce results in the form of sustainable creative and tourism products as well as added economic value at the transnational level.

The CCI4TOURISM Creative Hub Network is one of the main goals of the CCI4Tourism project, financed as part of the Interreg ADRION 2014–2020 programme.
