TEMPLE BAR CULTURAL TRUSTPRESENTSENHANCING IRELAND’S ROLE IN EUROPEAN CULTURAL ANDCREATIVE INDUSTRIES

Welcome to the first of ourseries for 2011!

As a flagship initiative for Ireland and Europe, Temple Bar’s cultural quarter is now home to a vibrant community of artists, cultural organisations and creative enterprises and is a significant source of creativity and innovation for Ireland and beyond that is enjoyed by millions of people each year.

As we celebrate our 20th Anniversary, it is timely that we reflect on the changed landscape for culture and creative industries in Temple Bar and beyond, as well as the opportunities to create new forms of entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainability for our society and our economy, particularly in the context of Europe’s 2020 strategy and its flagship initiatives. To help us do that we have invited leading experts across policy development, research and practice in Europe to share their experience, knowledge, thoughts and ideas with us as we plan for the future.

Building on our role in leading a response to the EU Green Paper Unlocking the Potential of the Cultural and Creative Industries in 2010, and the Creative Ireland Alliance that is emerging from that process, it is clear that Ireland now needs a new, integrated and joined up strategy that positions culture and the creative industries at the heart of our socio-economic renewal and our European neighbours can help us find the solutions.

As Ireland prepares to host the Presidency of the European Union in 2013 this is an ideal opportunity to re-think how we can enhance our role in European cultural and creative industries to contribute to prosperity and success at home and abroad.
