Creative Folkestone (UK)
Partner Information
The Creative Folkestone is an arts charity, which has spent 15 years using creative activity to make Folkestone a better place to live, work, play, study and visit. By mobilising the incredible artistic resources already in the town and working hand in hand with the community, our partners and stakeholders, we have established 5 main projects: the Creative Quarter, Quarterhouse, Triennial, Book Festival and Folkestone Artworks, through which we are transforming the town and surrounding area.
Role in CUPIDO
Creative Folkestone is involved in all work packages and will lead on work package 4 - culture test beds and platforms. The Creative Folkestone will engage young people, supporting them to establish their own digital businesses and become a part of the digital culture. Workspace will be provided in a 1,000 sqm building converted to a Createch hub and centre of excellence with uncontested fibre internet, shared communal space with business facilities, and business support through the knowledge partners.
