CREATIVE TOWNS AND REGIONS INITIATIVE: REPORT FOR MTSKHETA-MTIANETI (Zviad Mchedlishvili)

The European Union-Eastern Partnership Culture and Creativity Programme launched the Creative Towns and Regions Initiative to highlight the importance of culture and creativity in small and medium sized towns and regions. The Initiative introduces a practical approach for towns and regions in the Eastern Partnership countries to use the local cultural and creative potential for social and economic development.

The key driver behind participation in the Creative Towns and Regions Initiative of Mtskheta-Mtianeti Administration is an intention to increase attractiveness of the region through unlocking creative potential of the local community. The main outcomes are:

- Create a clear vision for the development of the region’s territory, cultural heritage landscapes and traditions through the strategic and creative approaches used in EU countries with similar wealth and resources;

- Increase attractiveness of the region for visitors and investors through strengthening local cultural and creative resources;

- Activate traditional heritage resources using more contemporary methods, for instance by generating opportunities for creative tourism development.
