Within the framework of the European Programs Department activities, representatives of the organization participated in the “Kick Off” meeting among the partners of the “CODES, CO-DEsign for Sustainability” project, which was held digitally through Zoom platform, on Tuesday, March 28, 2023.
The project “CO-DEsign for Sustainability” under the acronym CODES is aiming at reinforcing the capacity of fashion and design professionals, related to:
- Artistic creation, promotion, distribution and monetisation, helping the sectors to address in particular new digital (inter alia the use of 3D and AI technologies), legal and technical trends stemming from innovations in the market and new business models,
- The integration of European Green Deal and New European Bauhaus principles in the practices applied by the sectors,
- The internationalization of careers of professionals in the sectors to operate across borders and internationally.
This action is expected to foster cooperation between organizations active in the culture field, to increase the European dimension of creation and circulation of European artistic content as well as to encourage the development, experimentation, dissemination or application of new and innovative practices.
During the first part of the meeting, an overview of the project took place, while also the specific role of each partner within the implementation of the planned actions and deliverables was discussed in detail. Furthermore, both the objectives and the accomplishment of the project activities, as well as the framework of the financial management and procedures, according to the “Creative Europe – Culture Strand” program, to which the CODES project is included, were discussed.
During the second part of the meeting, the schedules related to subsequent meetings, as well as the implementation of specific actions and deliverables based on the schedule, were set. Finally, priority was given to the development of the communication strategy by presenting the logo and corporate identity of the project by the lead partner of the consortium.
