CreativesUnite, a platform for the cultural sector by the cultural sector launched by Creative FLIP

The COVID-19 pandemic has swept the globe, causing a serious health crisis that not only has cost the livelihood of millions, but also has a severe impact on the sustainability of many sectors of the economy, and especially the Cultural and Creative Industries all around Europe. An urgent need arose to gather all information on CCIs response to the Covid-19 crisis and make it more structured and accessible to the entire sector. This was emphasized on 8 April 2020 by Commissioner Mariya Gabriel, following a virtual meeting of EU Ministers of Culture held regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, in which the launching of a platform for the cultural sector to share information and good practices between themselves was proposed. This is how the idea of Creatives Unite was born.
Creatives Unite is a platform that aims to gather in one place all information and initiatives of the CCI sector in the EU that arose in response to the COVID-19 crisis. The goal is to bridge the information gap by collating all relevant information circulating on the web regarding creative opportunities coming from and referring to the CCIs, by directing to the relevant websites of the respective networks, organisations and initiatives.
