We have the pleasure to invite you to attend the international conference entitled Creative Cities: Possibilities, Policies and Places on the role of creative and cultural industries in urban development. The event is organised by two European projects: “Creative Cities” and “Second Chance”.

In addition to lectures by eminent experts Dr. Tom Fleming and Prof. Klaus R. Kunzmann, there will be a panel discussion at which the ideas on the creative city will be presented in relation to Slovenian economic, spatial and cultural policies. We will also discuss issues regarding the role of creative and cultural industries in the development of cities and regions.

The conference will take place on 14 April 2011 at the Ljubljana Castle. It will begin at 9:30 a.m. with the welcome addresses by the Minister of Culture Majda Širca and the Mayor of Ljubljana Zoran Janković.

The Slovenian partners in the Creative Cities project are the Regional Development Agency of the Ljubljana Urban Region and the Institute for Economic Research. The partners in the Second Chance project are the City of Ljubljana and the Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana.

The projects are implemented through the CENTRAL EUROPE Programme, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
