InduCult2.0

Project in a nutshell

The project partnership has established the idea of Living Industrial Culture in Central Europe and revealed, strengthened and utilized the unique cultural spirit of industrial regions.  They jointly set out to discover their industry-based culture for positioning themselves as appealing places for work, life and recreation. Past, present and future cultural assets related to industry have been used as one powerful force. Industrial Culture has become a dynamic concept mirroring earlier and ongoing transformations of industrial economy and actively shaping the cultural sphere of the affected communities.

InduCULT2.0 project has come to an end

We are very proud of the results and would like to thank all our stakeholders for inspiring us as a partnership and for working together with us! We are convinced that many of the pilot actions run (again) after the project’s end. We hope the policy recommandations and action plans can further inspire regions outside the partnership! A CE network of coordinators will use this website to inform you on future actions. For questions the project manager can be contacted.

PILOT ACTIONS & INVESTMENTS

RESULTS

Industrial culture

ESTABLISHING and promoting the concept

We focused on the novelty of Industrial Culture itself. Scientific work has outlined its fundaments. Transnational and regional stakeholder involvements have led to the development of valuable strategic reccomendations as can be found in the ‘Transnational Strategy Brochure’.

The strategy will be further promoted by a CE network on Industrial Culture, with coordinators present in each of the participating regions. The network will continue its cooperation beyond the project run-time, aiming at further enhancing acknowledgement of Industrial Culture as a central societal root in Central Europe.


RESULTS

IDENTITY

fostering regional identity

We addressed the role of Industrial Culture shaping outside perception and internal identity of industrial places, thereby creating soft location factors for attracting people and business, including tourism. Pilot actions have provided insights on the many possible ways to combine industrial culture and regional identity. A transnational mapping tool was developed, which focuses ontouristic offers regarding industrial tourism in Central Europe.

Action plans define a roadmap for stakeholders on a regional and transnational level. Many regions are planning to continue  the measures after the project end.

RESULTS

INDUSTRIES LABOR FORCE

strengthening ties companies & labour force

We addressed the role of Industrial Culture for binding the regional labour force and companies to the region, and particularly for raising interest in young qualified work force to industry. The pilot actions have shown the variety of approaches possible towards the topic of Industrial Culture, labour force and companies (a.o. school initiatives, culturefocused events, brochures on the history of companies).

Action plans show that many initiatives have a successful future and can be adopted by other regions across Europe.

RESULTS

creativity

promoting creativity

We focused on the connection between (old) industrialised regions and creative people. Pilot actions tested ways to interlink creative people with already existing industries, with the aim to address current needs of industries in order to foster a sustainable regional development (a.o. innovation fostering events, creative challenges and hubs in old industrial sites).

Within the InduCult2.0 project a first step towards a long-term focus is described in the regional action plans, which offer inspiration for other peri-urban industrial regions to foster creative approaches in cooperation with companies.
