Abstract

The Creative field is one that is ever growing and developing. Actors and future professionals in this field have to constantly find new ways to work together and build functioning networks that benefit all parties. The Creative Steps pilot organised by Kemi-Tornio University of Applied Sciences was executed as a part of the Creative Edge project. Above all, the aim of this international workshop was to enable young actors in the field to meet with businesses, while at the same time promoting the exchange of international skills and knowledge. This publication explains, in detail, how the international Creative Steps workshop was organised through the cooperation of the four partner countries and by making use of networks. It also works as a sort of road map for the arranging of similar international cooperative projects. We would like to be an inspiration to others and show that actors in the creative field need, and, what is more, deserve new ways to create worldwide networks. This publication contains the experiences and views of the organisers and participants in the pilot project as well as actual advice and tips for everyone interested in organising similar workshops in the future. Join us on this fairy tale journey of innovation!
