Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) are at the heart of the creative economy by ensuring the continued development of societies and being a powerful vector for the creation of competitiveness, cultural wealth, innovation, and employment. 

 

Knowledge-intensive and based on individual creativity and talent, these industries generate not only considerable economic prosperity while strengthening social cohesion but are also critical to a shared sense of European identity, culture, and values. 

 

About the event:

The Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union will organise a European conference to reflect how the CCIs contribute to improve people's quality of life by creating solutions through Culture and Science. This event will be held in Barcelona from the 11th to the 13th of July.

 

The event will display, in a demonstrative, interactive and participatory way, CCIs’ European and collaborative projects and initiatives that are not only innovative and sustainable, but also accessible, affordable, socially committed and enriching for all in line with the New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative. In this way, the conference will show cultural and creative industries as social and innovative drivers.

Circular City Challenge

Circular City Challenge exhibition and award

 

 

The Circular Cities Challenge is a unique event organized by the Distributed Design Platform and hosted by Fab Lab Barcelona | IAAC. It provides an immersive learning experience in Barcelona for creative talents worldwide. Focused on implementing the Circular Economy in cities and regions, this challenge aims to empower designers and enhance their skills to drive regenerative change.

 

During the week-long challenge, 23 young creatives will be selected to embark on a transformative journey. Working in interdisciplinary teams, they will tackle specific material flow challenges across various design contexts such as food, electronics, textiles, energy, and data. The teams will be guided by Mercabarna for food, UPC-EIT InnoEnergy Masters in Energy for Smart Cities for energy,  Reimagine Textile and RMT S.A. for textiles, and Materfad and Clic Recycle for natural materials."

 

This challenge goes beyond theory, as participants will bring their ideas to life by creating tangible prototype solutions for real-life challenges. It provides a platform for designers to showcase their creativity, problem-solving abilities, and commitment to positive change. By collaborating and reimagining possibilities, these talented individuals will play a crucial role in shaping a more sustainable and prosperous future for cities and beyond.

 

Within the framework of the Spanish Presidency event, the prototypes created in the Circular Cities Challege will be exhibited at the CosmoCaixa, Barcelona, and evaluated by European experts related to innovation, science and culture. During the closing session of the conference, the two most popular works will be selected by the audience and the experts. All the

 

All the works and profiles of the creativities have been collected in a Digital Book as a result of this project recognition.
