Creative FLIP is delighted to announce its one‑day final conference that will take place on 9 June, at La Tricoterie in Brussels, bringing together policymakers and stakeholders from across the Cultural and Creative Sectors (CCS) to reflect, connect and look ahead.
About the topic: Resilient Creative Futures are built together!
In Europe’s CCS, resilience is often seen as an individual responsibility: the ability of artists, workers and organisations to adapt, remain flexible and survive uncertainty. Creative FLIP takes a different view. Resilience does not exist in isolation. Resilience is systemic and collective: it is shaped by ecosystems, communities, support structures, policies and shared responsibility across the sector. Recognising that disruption is not exceptional but structural, Creative FLIP understands resilience not as “bouncing back” through short-term solutions, but as a forward-looking process of strengthening connections, capacities and conditions so the CCS can continually learn, adapt and evolve together.
Over the past 7,5 years, Creative FLIP has explored how resilience can be strengthened across levels: individual, organisational, sectoral and ecosystemic. Through research, pooling of information, policy work, peer learning, and experimentation, the project has helped imagine how the CCS can thrive in a rapidly changing world.
This final conference in Brussels brings these insights together, highlighting the importance of shared knowledge, fairer approaches to finances and working conditions, continuous learning opportunities and policies grounded in the realities of creative work.
This conference is also a heartfelt thank you to the community that shaped Creative FLIP. Creatives Unite, as Creative FLIP's flagship platform, will proudly be part of the fully packed and interesting programme of the final event.
The registration is now open to everyone who wishes to attend, and the full event agenda is available on Creative FLIP's official website.
