Wondering how culture and creativity can bring about real change? Our latest edition of the Agents of Change library might provide some answers!

🌍 Creative Industries: Pioneers of Sustainable Innovation in the Baltic Sea Region

A recent study published in Sustainability explores how cultural and creative industries (CCIs) are driving sustainable macro-regional development in the Baltic Sea area. By acting as innovation brokers, these industries bridge gaps between sectors, fostering collaboration and promoting sustainable transitions. Their role in shaping policies and engaging communities underscores the transformative power of creativity in addressing environmental challenges.

For young changemakers, this highlights the potential of CCIs to inspire innovative solutions and lead the way toward a greener future, all in line with the New European Bauhaus principles of sustainability, inclusion, and beauty.

🌊 Last 2 days to apply!

Free, tailored coaching for 40 social economy SMEs across the European blue economy. Deadline is 30 May 2026.

If you're a cooperative, association or social enterprise working in fisheries, aquaculture, coastal tourism, marine energy, blue biotech or other marine and coastal activities, the Bluedots project is offering tailored coaching and mentoring to help you transition to more digital and sustainable business models.

🧑‍💻 Sessions cover blue economy strategy, circular marine value chains, digitalisation (IoT, AI, monitoring), and change leadership for sustainable transformation. Held online or on-site, in English, Italian, Spanish, German or Polish.

Europe's blue economy generates nearly 5 million jobs and €900 billion in turnover (EU Blue Economy Report 2025, European Commission). Many of the small social economy organisations at their heart still lack the tools to grow sustainably.

🇮🇹 From Matera to the world!

The Agents of Change project is entering its most exciting phase: local labs across Europe, a live learning platform, and a growing community of creative changemakers.

Last week, our full partnership gathered in Matera, Italy, a city well known for harnessing the power of culture to transform communities. We left with clarity, energy, and a shared roadmap for what comes next.

Local Labs are launching this September. Pilot programmes will kick off in partner countries across Europe, putting our learning platform to the test in the real world, with creative youth tackling genuine local challenges using the skills and tools we've built together.

After all the work that went into the NEB Competence Framework and the NEB Map, we're finally putting them to use where they belong: out in communities, with the people who'll actually use them.

And this is just the beginning, local labs feed into a European gathering in Novi Sad, Serbia, in early 2027, where creatives from all partner countries will collaborate across borders on shared challenges.
