Being part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network means offering a platform for growth to operators, also through the creation of training courses that recover traditional knowledge and the sharing of good practices. The cities in the Network are committed to sharing good practices and collaborating, involving the creative community. Being part of the Network means making one’s tradition, skills and creativity available to the world. The Network supports artistic exchanges and research partnerships with both Network cities and the public and private sectors. Creative Cities contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN Agenda 2030.
The activity of the Creative City is varied and diversified. The Creative City plays an active role both by designing and coordinating events and projects aimed at the exchange of good practices and the transmission of knowledge and culture, and by participating and enhancing those organized by other subjects. It supports initiatives whose core values are in line with those of the Creative City and coherent with the City’s action plan. These types of involvement serve to spread and share cultural awareness and to put creative values and knowledge in circle. They are the result of a relationship activity that creates networks between realities that can work together.
