The Ninth Policy Lab Held within the Scope of the INSPIRE Project

The ninth Policy Lab under the INSPIRE Project was held on April 15. Focusing on the themes of Awareness, Finance, Skills, and Local Governance, the session aimed to build on previously developed policy proposals by defining concrete solution ideas, action plans, and stakeholder maps.

During the event, participants revisited and refreshed ideas discussed in past labs. They then split into two breakout rooms to develop thematic initiatives:

Breakout Room 1: Awareness

Breakout Room 2: Finance

Each group developed three solution-oriented initiatives relevant to their theme and outlined the necessary steps for implementation. For each initiative, participants also identified key stakeholders who would play a role in bringing these ideas to life, detailing potential collaborations and institutional responsibilities.

The outcomes of this session will be shared in the upcoming meeting with Sir John Newbigin, Member of the UK Creative Industries Council, Chair of the British Council’s Arts and Creative Economy Advisory Group, and Advisor to the Mayor of London. His feedback and additional recommendations will guide the final revisions in the last Policy Lab session.

The INSPIRE Project is a multi-stakeholder initiative funded by the European Union, aimed at strengthening policy-making processes in the field of creative economy in Türkiye.
