About the project

Community Creative Concept Video

  • Industry: Culture
  • Sector: Interest Community (Arts & Culture)
  • Profile: Local Network
  • Key Market: Nationwide (local communities)

COMMUNITY CREATIVE is a unique private networking platform for local creative communities. It aims to help creatives foster stronger connections while helping their community thrive. With COMMUNITY CREATIVE, local creative communities can now share skills, organize events, live-stream, collaborate and chat to one another and even fundraise for causes that are important to their community.

Creative communities operate on relationships of trust, shared goals and objectives and generate spill-over benefits for all people and communities. By identifying, responding to, and articulating their own needs, creative communities use partnership working to open-up opportunity. They co-design and co-deliver interventions, and challenge preceived ways of thinking about some of the most significant challenges facing society today. 

COMMUNITY CREATIVE generates recommendations and opportunities for new collaborations within communities in culture and innovation that genuinely promote equal, diverse and inclusive equitable partnerships with businesses and community services.
