창조유럽(Creative Europe)과 창조경제의 문화 아젠다

Abstract

Our society is moving on a creative economy paradigm beyond a knowledge-based society. Cultural and creative industries are becoming important as new sources of economic wealth. Many countries of the world are trying to adopt policies to foster cultural and creative industries for economic growth, employment extension, and promotion of the national brand. In 2013, the new Korean government has placed stress on the creative economy as a keynote. For the creative economy, it will be necessary to more clearly define the concepts of creativity and culture. This paper will consider the ‘Creative Europe’ programme in the EU as an upbringing policy of creative economy. Creative Europe is the new EU programme dedicated to the cultural and creative sectors, proposed by the European Commission. Europe needs to invest more in its cultural and creative sectors because they significantly contribute to economic growth, employment, innovation and social cohesion. With the new EU programme, Europe hopes to achieve several objectives. Creative Europe seeks to safeguard and promote cultural and linguistic diversity and strengthen the competitiveness of the cultural and creative sectors. The Creative Europe programme will give us a positive perception of the value of creativity and culture as a meaningful case for a concrete economic system.
