SAA to speak at a flash session on the Cultural and Creative Industries Platform.

Ahead of the 7-8 February Special Summit on the EU’s Multi-Annual Financial Framework, the European Platform on the potential of Cultural and Creative Industries (‘The Platform’) - a group of more than 40 organisations representing a wide range of cultural and creative sectors – calls on EU Member States to adopt a strong budget for ‘Creative Europe’, the 2014-2020 programme for the cultural and creative sectors.

SAA was elected on to the board of the European Platform on the potential of the European Cultural and creative Industries at the platform’s plenary meeting on January 12th 2012.

SAA has joined the Platform on the Potential of Creative and Cultural Industries in 2010 and endorsed the recommendations the Platform issued in September 2009 in preparation of the Green Paper.
