RC will highlight the importance of connectivity and interdisciplinary culture for multicultural integration in EU.

This will be achieved through on-going sharing with audiences throughout and after RC, active involvement of target groups and civil society, participatory art and integration of intangible cultural heritage to stimulate co-working/networking models supported by digital technologies.Demonstrating the logic in the creation of new forms and new identities, art articulates the primary task of individual living in age of new technologies: the construction of a participatory future. RC defines the positive sides of co-existence and integrates archaic working with complex and sophisticated technology, by building co-working models to empower interdisciplinary research and production with different audiences. This will lead to new interdisciplinary practices intended to help migrants integrate into communities and to be actively involved into interdisciplinary co-working processes, having access to multicultural community benefits. RC reveals what is going on in contemporary environment and society and what can be achieved by sharing knowledge, opening closed scientific circles and isolated institutions, displaying complex problems to public and engaging audiences in many creative ways. RC aims at integration of cultural diversity as a ground for innovative art productions.

Creative Climate Leadership (CCL) is a pan-European, interdisciplinary programme that aims to connect and enable a community of cultural leaders to take an active leadership role in shaping an environmentally sustainable future for the European cultural sector. It has been developed as a direct response to a sectoral need for leadership, skills development and increased awareness of the business models and approaches that are fit for purpose in the context of climate change and environmental sustainability.
The programme channels the latest knowledge and best practice in sustainable cultural management across Europe through conferences, training courses and a policy lab, fuelling the development of new skills, encouraging innovation and collaboration, and supporting cultural professionals and policymakers to realise the opportunities for personal, artistic and professional business development in the process. Creative Climate Leadership aims to affect change at the local, national, regional and European level.
The CCL training courses and conferences enable transnational mobility and knowledge exchange in person and online, whilst also encouraging local impact and longer-term initiatives by enabling participants to disseminate learning and seed legacy activities through the CCL dissemination events and Climate Leadership Grants.
The programme partners represent organisations working towards an alliance between culture and environmental sustainability, plus European and regional networks with the intention to scale ideas and influence change at a strategic and cultural policy level.
