For One Question Many Answers
CCIs need to be vocal in responding to this green paper. CCIs need to work with Europe to tackle three issues which come from the questions posed:
- We need to build a strong internal network using virtual and actual spaces
- We need to recognise and understand the benefits of cultural networks
- We need to improve and increase the visibility of activities by the cultural and creative sector
Shared knowledge comes through networking, and through networking, new and challenging ideas can come about. An integrated approach, which embraces the educational and lifelong learning sectors, is needed to allow every citizen to use a creative product or to make culture an integrated part of everyday living.

It is up to the CCIs to create this visibility and to step out from an invisible fragmented sector.
