Background
The European Commission has been cooperating with the OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities since 2019 on the joint policy project for regions on cultural and creative sectors and local development called “Culture, creative sectors and local development”.
The overall aim of the project is to provide evidence and guidance to cities and regions on ways to maximise the economic and social value of cultural heritage and support the emergence of the creative economy.
This project is part of the European Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage. It is co-financed by the Creative Europe programme and put in place by the OECD Local Employment and Economic Development (LEED) Programme.
