So basically the creative industry of the netherlands wants to be the most creative industry in Europe by 2020 and CLICK is supposed to be the answer to that.
CLICK stands for Creativity, Learning, Innovation, Co-creation, Knowledge.

They're all about this bottom-up networkstructure. Which I think we talked about in the past few weeks in a way. Which I understand is an opposite of the urban planning that we are used to from a government pov. Cascoland is an example of that. A network of artists, architects, designers and performers promoting mobilization, participation and networking through artistic exchange and collaboration.

So it's all about alternative strategies.

What confuses me is that this CLICK thing actually is a governmental initiative, so it would kind of defeat the purpose of these artist networks and collaboratives. Or would it mean that these networks are endorsed and encouraged?

CLICKS intentions seem legit though, about connecting knowledge and creativity with entrepeurs. So companies and artists can collaborate and create this win win situation.

When I read about the CLICK//Networks it almost sounds like a secret society though. Cause they describe it as 5 networks that each have their own researching agendas.

They will basically be the mediators between the artist community and other sectors. They're planning these what they call 'grand challenges'. In which they create these cross-overs between creative disciplines and other topsectors. To share thematic expertise.

Feel free to respond to this.
