Discussion panels

Working groups with several hypotheses, so that we work towards creating an overall strategy.

The discussion will revolve around the points of friction between the proposed models, in order to find ways to bring them closer and make them more compatible. We believe in creating means that can include and improve on all the options, so that they can cross-empower each other.

We will have some common group to debate the conflicting views and parallel working groups where we can get deeper into the specific issues and see what common positions we can develop.

State of the art

9.30am – 11.15am One group open discussion: Who creates Culture and Knowledge in the Digital Era? What defines the Creative Community today?

11.15am – 1.30pm Parallel working groups: Mapping sustainability/ Unsustainability of the new models (problems and conditions).

The groups will be define on the previous session based on concrete approaches (foreseeable: infrastructures, concrete productive areas (music, cinema, books…), creative industries, collaborative creativity and other areas emerged on the first panel, etc.)

*Important note to participants: the Flat Rate topic is excluded in this session.
