Our consortium unites the expertise of three dynamic organizations: Frumlitir ehf, Zlín Creative Cluster, and NORTH Consulting. Together, we are committed to fostering innovation, inclusion, and cultural entrepreneurship across Europe.
Frumlitir ehf was established in 2017 with a mission to produce, create, coordinate, and facilitate art and cultural events of varying scales. In addition to event production, we offer training on cultural entrepreneurship and collaborate with municipalities and cultural organizations to plan and execute impactful cultural initiatives. With extensive experience in Iceland’s art scene, our team is dedicated to mediating cultural values and ensuring that art is accessible to all layers of society. Our projects range from hosting TV series on contemporary art to teaching courses on curating and exhibition-making, with a focus on overcoming barriers and biases within the cultural sector.
Zlín Creative Cluster serves as a hub for creative industries in the Zlín agglomeration, bringing together the public, private, non-profit, and educational sectors. Since our foundation in 2016, we have played a crucial role in advancing the region's creative economy. We support innovative projects, facilitate networking, promote new trends, and provide education to our members. Our commitment to inclusivity is evident in our community events, which often focus on marginalized groups, including minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and refugees. Through the operation of the creative coworking center HUB 123, we create spaces where diverse voices are heard and celebrated.
NORTH Consulting specializes in helping organizations realize their potential by developing policies, training programs, curricula, and learning materials. Our focus areas include education for sustainable development, creativity, entrepreneurship, and inclusion. We work with various entities across sectors, from municipalities to educational institutions, to create and implement effective training and development initiatives. In the cultural sector, we are involved in strategic planning and capacity building, particularly in cultural entrepreneurship and green skills-building. Our commitment to participatory learning methods empowers individuals to harness their strengths and foster inclusive practices.
Together, we are dedicated to shaping a more inclusive and vibrant cultural landscape. Our collective expertise allows us to drive forward initiatives that celebrate diversity while actively working to overcome the challenges faced by marginalized communities. Through our collaborative efforts, we aim to empower individuals, foster innovation, and cultivate a culture of tolerance and understanding.
