In the dynamic world of the cultural and creative industry, initiatives that promote innovation, social inclusion, and upskilling are essential for driving positive change. The Creative Hub project, a collaborative effort involving several organizations, including Culture Hub Croatia, has been working diligently to achieve these goals. As a crucial step in the project’s journey, Culture Hub Croatia recently organized a Multiplier Event, which brought together a diverse group of stakeholders and target groups. With a total of 21 participants, this event played a pivotal role in sharing the project’s outcomes and promoting its objectives.
The Multiplier Event organized by Culture Hub Croatia had a set of well-defined objectives:
- Raise Awareness of Intellectual Outputs: One of the primary goals of the event was to raise awareness about the project’s intellectual outputs. These outputs are the core of the project and encompass the knowledge, resources, and tools developed as a part of the Creative Hub project. By effectively communicating these outputs, the event aimed to foster a deeper understanding among stakeholders and encourage their support for the project.
- Promote Upskilling in Creative Industries: The event sought to initiate a debate and raise awareness about the importance of upskilling adults in the cultural and creative industry. The discussion also extended to the realms of social innovation and social inclusion, highlighting the role of e-learning in achieving these objectives.
- Open Debate on Stakeholder Expectations: Culture Hub Croatia intended to create a platform for open debate where stakeholders could express their expectations regarding the social role of the creative industry. By encouraging dialogue, the event sought to align the project with the desires and needs of the broader community.
- Motivate Stakeholders for Social Impact: A key aspect of the event was to motivate stakeholders, particularly cultural operators, to increase their commitment to and involvement in social impact-driven upskilling initiatives. This motivation was essential for ensuring the sustainability and growth of the project.
- Showcase Good Practices: The Multiplier Event aimed to increase public awareness and visibility of good practices in the cultural and creative industry. By sharing innovative solutions to social problems, it showcased the positive impact of the Creative Hub project.
- Raise Awareness of EU Policies in Adult Learning: In the broader context, the event was an opportunity to educate participants about EU policies supporting adult learning. This not only benefitted the project but also contributed to a broader understanding of EU initiatives.
- Promote Digitalization of OERs: Another important objective was to raise public awareness of EU policies urging the digitalization of high-quality Open Educational Resources (OERs). This aligns with the project’s mission to leverage technology for better accessibility.
- Communicate Policy and Social Relevance: Ultimately, the event aimed to communicate the policy and social relevance of the Creative Hub project and highlight the potential future beneficial impact it could have on society.
Culture Hub Croatia’s Multiplier Event was a resounding success, as it effectively addressed these objectives. The 21 participants were not only informed but also actively engaged in discussions, sharing their insights and expectations.
The event served as a catalyst for building a broader network of support for the Creative Hub project. Stakeholders from outside the project partnership were brought into the fold, ensuring a more diverse and comprehensive approach to achieving the project’s goals.
Furthermore, the event sparked crucial debates on upskilling, social innovation, and the role of the creative industry. It promoted an understanding of EU policies and the digitalization of educational resources, making knowledge more accessible to the target groups.
Culture Hub Croatia’s Multiplier Event for the Creative Hub project was a milestone in achieving its objectives. It not only informed and engaged the participants but also forged new connections and inspired discussions on important issues in the cultural and creative industry.
As the project continues its journey, the Multiplier Event has laid a strong foundation for increasing support, fostering innovation, and driving social change in the world of creative and cultural industries. By bringing stakeholders together and amplifying the project’s impact, Culture Hub Croatia has made a significant contribution to the project’s sustainability and future success.
