Get to Know Us

With the motto ’Awareness leads to change’ at its core, the project aims to ‘drop a snowflake to create an avalanche’; that is identify key-stakeholders across Europe in the cultural, creative, and environmental field, and bring them together to identify the issues and co-design the solutions for a more environmentally aware and responsive CCS. The cultural and creative sector (CCS) is among the most underrepresented and unexplored sectors in terms of environmental discourse and action.

CoRES aims to support the CCS’s responsiveness and resilience towards the climate crisis through cross-disciplinary collaborations for educating/training the CCS about climate change and how to incorporate practices in their activities to mitigate their sector’s impact; and encouraging multi-stakeholder participation in decision-making regarding climate change/environment.

​

The project will employ innovative applied, participatory research methodologies and build upon available resources (such as the Good environmental practices guide for the Creative Europe Programme) to identify the gaps, needs and barriers for mobilising the CCS’s green transition and provide CCS stakeholders with the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools/resources to co-design the solutions to support the sector’s sustainable development and environmental resilience. By fostering public participation, gender equality, and diversity inclusion, the project aims to develop local, European, and global networks of well-informed and empowered cultural and creative practitioners, actively involved in decision-making for the matters that affect them (including climate change) and mobilising them to improve the sector’s environmental impact.
