"Sharing the Slovenian example of investing in creative economy, Mrs Petra Kežman, Head of Department for Public Diplomacy and International Cooperation in Culture at Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia, briefed the audience on the International Conference on "Symptoms of Creativity”. “Culture and creativity are powerful – not only as sources of identity, enjoyment and self-actualisation, but also as the critical drivers of cohesion, inclusion, innovation and growth”, said Ms. Kežman."

"Culture and creativity have untapped potential to deliver social, economic, and spatial benefits for cities and communities. Cultural and creative industries are key drivers of the creative economy and represent important sources of employment, economic growth, and innovation, thus contributing to city competitiveness and sustainability. Through their contribution to urban regeneration and sustainable urban development, cultural and creative industries make cities more attractive places for people to live in and for economic activity to develop. Culture and creativity also contribute to social cohesion at the neighborhood level, enable creative networks to form and advance innovation and growth, and create opportunities for those who are often socially and economically excluded. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had a deep impact on the cultural sector, yet it has also revealed the power of cultural and creative industries as a resource for city recovery and resilience."
"Originally produced in 2006, “Creativity Matters – Social Inclusion” examines issues relating to how creative projects can be used to promote social inclusion for young people which are excluded from conventional education due to a variety of factors. The report looks at the evidence for creative project’s effectiveness, argues for why it is a preferable tactic to other methods of promotion social inclusions and gives specific examples where creative projects have had a proven impact."
