Working group on brussels CCI benchmarking and internationalisation
Creative District, acting on behalf of hub.brussels for the Brussels ICC platform, organised the 1st meeting of the working group on the benchmarking and internationalisation of Brussels’ ICCs on 03-07-23. The Brussels CCI platform brings together partners involved in supporting creative entrepreneurs with a view to removing obstacles to entrepreneurship, creating a network and strong synergies between its members and collaborating on cross-cutting themes to better deploy the creative economy within the Region.
The aim of this the working group on benchmarking and internationalisation is to carry out a qualitative and comparative analysis of the CCI ecosystems in a dozen or so international and national targets in order to better calibrate Brussels’ positioning. The second step will be to develop an inventory of internationalisation tools and identify CCI internationalisation best practicesin CCI.
Women and gender minorities in music festivals
As a member of Scivias, a network of music professionals who together affirm the existence of inequalities in the music sector, we are sharing with you their 2023 report on the place of women and gender minorities at 36 music festivals in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. This study highlights the unequal access of men and women to the music scene and encourages all professionals to take active steps towards greater equality.
FACE : Fostering Awareness on Youth Cultural Entrepreneurship
Young people, and especially vulnerable groups, such as women, are currently 3 times more likely to be unemployed than other age groups. The motivation of this project is to propose solutions to the issue of youth unemployment, particularly in deprived areas and for less qualified young persons, some of whom belong to minorities with cultures diversifying them from the mainstream culture. The project focuses on promoting cultural entrepreneurship, fostering youth employability, supporting local communities, promoting active citizenship through networking and participatory methods, and providing continuous professional development for trainers. The project partners aim to engage youths that are marginalized due to their social, economic, or geographical status and to provide them with access to training opportunities that can support youth employability, entrepreneurship, and local communities.
