The projectThe Summer Academy for Cultural and Creative Industries and Local Development (SACCI) provides capacity building for policy makers and representatives of cultural and creative sectors (CCS). At the end of the course, participants acquire a deeper understanding of the sector's needs and dynamics. The Summer Academy equips policymakers and practitioners with the tools to design forward-thinking policies that respond to the needs of these industries. Each year, the Summer Academy tackles a different theme, and invites policymakers and practitioners from around the world to share their experiences and learn from international experts in the field. The Summer Academy is an integral part of the OECD programme on cultural and creative sectors. ObjectivesThe Summer Academy seeks to:
MethodologyThe Summer Academy fosters a hands-on approach, which introduces participants to the overall conceptual and theoretical framework of culture and creativity in local development, and. It invites them to engage proactively, and in creative ways, with local organisations, institutions and places. Substantial time during each day is reserved for discussions to generate and exchange knowledge. The last Summer Academy included webinars, interactive digital sessions with key actors (online) and a study visit to selected places in Trentino, Italy. The Summer Academy allows participants to consider real-life situations and to engage with practical challenges faced by their organisations and institutions. 2024 Focus | Reconnecting society through culture: Uniting people, places and communities in a polarised worldMajor global trends, such as demographic change, rapid urbanization, impactful technology, climate change and shifts in global economic power, have the capacity to increase inequalities and disparities within populations, and affect the quality of life, outlook, and well-being of communities in both rural and urban areas around the world. At the same time, there is opportunity to respond to these mega-trends in a way which promotes more sustainable living, and more equitable and connected societies. The 2024 Summer Academy will explore possible responses to these global trends through debate and the showcasing of examples of how cultural and creative interventions could help communities, individuals and localities to bridge divisions and move towards a more equal society based on human flourishing. ParticipantsThe Summer Academy targets policy makers and practitioners active in the field of cultural and creative sectors. Participants may be currently working in public institutions (national, regional, provincial or local governments, development agencies, research centres, international organisations) or private companies and organisations (foundations, co-operatives, NGOs, grassroots community organisations, non-profit entities, etc.) or freelancers active in the field of CCS development |

Fifth Edition | 18-21 September 2022 | DIGITAL & 26-28 September 2022 | Trento, Italy 2022 Focus: Culture changes lives! The transformative impacts of culture and creativity for better societiesThe levels of social, environmental and economic inequality in our society are increasingly challenging the health and wellbeing of people. It is time to rethink our approach to local development, whether in metropolitan areas or smaller towns. Culture and creative activities have the capacity to improve the self-confidence and the creativity of individuals, as well as the quality of places for current and future residents. The fifth edition of the Summer Academy aims to discuss and showcase the role of CCS within a common sustainability framework which includes critical areas such as the environment, demography, and social justice.

Fourth Edition | 27-30 September 2021 | DIGITAL 2021 Focus: Culture and creativity at the core of the recoveryAs both the climate emergency and the COVID-19 crisis unfold, with increasingly critical impacts on economic, social and educational inequalities, policy makers, urban practitioners and sustainable development activists all over the world are looking for new ways to lay the foundations for strong, healthy, more equal and resilient communities in the future. They are working on many fronts to address the vulnerabilities this generalised state of crisis is exposing.As cities and regions reconsider growth models in the wake of COVID-19, cultural and creative industries can be put at the core of a resilient recovery. CCS are a significant source of jobs and income, and also generate important spillovers to the wider economy. They are a driver of innovation, a source of creative skills, and act as a magnet that helps drive growth in other sectors such as tourism. Beyond their economic impacts, they also have significant social impacts, from supporting health and well-being, to promoting social inclusion and local social capital. As well as offering a reflection on the policies, methods and approaches that could help us to build back better, SACCI 2021 investigated good practices, and highlighted evidence showing how CCIs, when properly valued and supported, could be the key to unlock a sustainable recovery and to achieve the objectives set by the Agenda 2030.

Third Edition | 27-30 April 2020 | DIGITAL 2020 Focus: Joining forces to shape the future
What can we learn from past experiences? How can Culture and Creative Industries (CCIs) help people and places to better address the new challenges brought about by climate change, globalisation, demographic change and technological breakthroughs? For several decades, cities and regions across the world have been successfully mobilising cultural and creative resources to address societal challenges, regenerate the economy, create new identities and promote inclusion. SACCI 2020 took stock of past CCIs policies and culture-led development initiatives and looked to the future, by focusing on how to reshape CCIs policies in view of the challenges posed by megatrends. In particular, this edition of the Summer Academy examined how the creativity of artists and CCIs’ entrepreneurs, cross-overs with other sectors and the use of new technologies could spur innovation in process, products and services in various fields such as health and well-being, social cohesion, environment protection, urban renewal, education and skills. The new forms of governance required to deliver such innovation were also part of the discussion. (all material is available online and linked throughout the agenda)
