Tom Fleming in the Faroe Islands: Cultural and Creative Opportunities
Tom Fleming is set to lead a two day workshop in the Faroe Islands on June 16th and 17th 2009. Working alongside stakeholders from across these beautiful islands, he will explore the dynamics of the local cultural and creative ecology. The aim is to develop a policy proposal and establish a framework leading up to a Creative Economy Green Paper for Faroe Islands. The workshop will be attended by a wide range of stakeholders including musicians, actors, designers, artists, government administration officials, city administration and investors.
Participants will be invited to discuss key cross-cutting themes across the Faroese cultural and creative ecology:
- The role of the Faroese creative economy in a wider North Atlantic and Nordic context - strengths, opportunities, policy leadership
- The role of cultural infrastructure in developing activity
- The role of 'traditional culture' in developing economic value through creativity
- The value-adding role of the sector for other parts of the economy and society.
As part of his visit, Tom Fleming will also be addressing a wider audience at the Media House in Torshavn, where he will be joined by several Faroese ministers and the Prime Minister, Kaj Leo Johannesen.
