Innovative and sustainable territorial growth is imperative for Europe. The cultural and creative sectors – boosted by public policies and PPPs – can play a key role in this context. This is why it is fundamental to upskill and reskill. This event addresses different ways CCSs can be pioneers in twin and just transition processes in territorial and interregional ecosystems. We will illustrate good practices and approaches that inspire communities to take up transformative models.

Session summary
The side-event, organised in the framework of the EWRC 2024 by the RICC Network (Regional Initiative for Culture and Creativity) in collaboration with the Master in European Design for Culture and Creativity of the University of Perugia, promoted a discussion on how public policies can support the green and digital transformation of the cultural and creative sectors and how the upskilling and reskilling can play an important role in achieving this goal. The event consisted of a round-table with the speakers, including the presentation of the experiences of two Regions of the RICC Network, followed by a debate session with the audience.
Diletta Paoletti - Consultant at the University of Perugia - outlined the context and key definitions related to the twin transition. She underlined how the two transitions are mutually reinforcing, but how they can sometimes clash. Therefore, close cooperation between industry, the public sector and civil society is necessary. In addition, she remarked that the transition must be fair, taking place in a way that leaves no one behind and mitigates side effects with negative impacts on society. The relationship between the double transition and the cultural and creative sectors was then addressed. The importance of lifelong learning was emphasised. Specialised skills for the two transitions were then listed. Finally, European funding and instruments that can be activated for the promotion of the double transition were presented.
Lucia De Siervo - Head of the Cultural Economy and Youth Policies Area of the Emilia-Romagna Region - highlighted the tradition and cultural richness of Emilia-Romagna, which generates social and economic value for the territory, with a particular reference to the CCIs. The smart specialisation strategy has been mentioned, with capacity building courses, new calls for research and innovation and other initiatives promoted by programmes such as the ESF and ERDF. Some good practices of the Region were also presented, such as the Clust-ER Create, the Culture and Creativity Hub and the Bologna Game Farm.
Camila De Epalza Azqueta - Policy Officer of the Delegation to the EU of the Basque Country - presented the Basque Country strategy to support local cultural and creative industries, also favouring territorial redevelopment (for example, the creation of the Guggenheim Museum). In the Basque double transition, the government of the Basque Country plays the role of transversal agent. Then it was presented KSIGUNE, a Basque cluster for higher education and research for CCIs which promotes and supports the development of training and skills transfer projects based on cooperation between higher education centres and CCIs.
