This week on the ECHN family online brunch we are starting a series of presentations of the member hubs, the Hub Spotlight, and we invite you to participate in.

Last week, Creative FLIP and the European Commission hosted the online Conference United for a new future , the first opportunity since COVID-19 for a direct dialogue of the Cultural and Creative Sectors with Commissioner Gabriel, the European Parliament and the Council.

We are looking for an empathetic and passionate community manager to nourish our community of creative hubs!
Are you the special one?

For over one month, the CreativesUnite platform has been showcasing CCI initiatives from Europe and beyond as a response to the Covid-crisis that hit the sector so badly. Following a virtual meeting of EU Ministers of Culture held on 19 May 2020, Commissioner Gabriel proposed an online conference with the cultural and creative sectors, where the Commissioner herself and key EU policy-makers would meet CCS stakeholders to reflect on what has been done until now in response to the crisis and to plan together for a new future.

The launch of the first research on the effects the COVID-19 crisis has had on workers, working in the fields of the cultural and creative sectors in Europe

The platform CreativesUnite serves the urgent need to gather all information on CCI response to the Covid-19 crisis and make it more structured and accessible to the entire sector. This was emphasized on 8th April 2020 by Commissioner Mariya Gabriel, following a virtual meeting of EU Ministers of Culture held regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
