Creativity Platform

The Creativity Platform team is a non-profit, collective scheme, seeking to function as an interdisciplinary platform of exchanging ideas, actions, research and appliances related to the “creative capital” and the “creative economy” in the city of Thessaloniki as well as in the general Greek area. Many cities and regions, worldwide, have exploited their creative human capital, by investing in strategies and policies which promote strong identities in the main fields of creative economy: music, cinema, literature, applied arts and fine arts. In Greece, there has been no substantial dialogue related to the exploitation of this important capital, provided by the Greek cities and regions. This lack of dialogue has resulted in a respective lack of relevant policies. Thus, the main goal of the Creativity Platform team is to offer the field, the platform, in order to activate this dialogue for the city of Thessaloniki, as well as to promote projects, activities and applications as the meeting points of creative communities, professional operators, entrepreneurial initiatives and policy makers.
