Five days (16-20 June 2019) of debates, on-site visits, interview-style sessions with key local actors, special guests from the creative and cultural sector and a publication, to find creative solutions to contemporary challenges for the cultural and creative industries.

- Preservation vs (Re)activation (keywords: urban/rural regeneration, creative identity of places, sustainability)
- Linear development vs Holistic approach (keywords: cross-sectorial policies, embedding creativity in local systems, cross innovation, skills for a creative city.
