The term ‘creative and cultural industries’ has gained momentum since it was first coined back in the 1990s in a bid to measure the economic and social impact and spread deeper understanding about the multiple sectors of arts, culture and creativity that make up to a country’s creative economy. But what does it really mean? How have countries across the world adopted it? And why does it matter for the UAE? Followed by a lively Q&A session. The session is led by Lisa Ball-Lechgar, Deputy Director of Tashkeel.
