Kreativt Forum

ACTIVITIES

Creative Forum meets on a regular basis every second month. The meetings are organised as workshops and by different themes. At each workshop the forum invites different local, national or international knowledge persons and “challengers.” At the workshops the forum debates different ideas for activities that can strengthen the creative industries in Copenhagen. In addition to the regular meetings, the forum conducts specific research of effects of activities in other cities and countries. Thus the work takes many forms. Here below is listed the themes of the Creative Forum’s focus for 2010-2011:
