Abstract

A Guidebook to Creative Industries in Iasi, Romania, 2006 is a project initiated by the British Council Centre Iaşi concerning “creative industries”. After the conferences and workshops – in Plovdiv with the regional partners, in Iaşi and Bucharest with the British and the local consultants, the team has managed to put into practice one of the key projects it set out to achieve: publishing a unified inventory of the main actors of the industrial-creative sector in Iaşi. The purpose of this project is to bring to the attention of the potential partners and supporters the city‘s potential for economic and image “re-invention”, which “unify” Iaşi through its creative energies and resources and to facilitate the creation of new creative/ profitable partnership projects – in Romania, in the UK and in South-East Europe. This guidebook is the tangible sign of the beginning of the journey.
