Our alternatives
We are therefore convinced that …
i. the potential of the CCI for developing solutions to global challenges needs to be tapped at the level of actors (i.e. their practices and processes, e.g. creative skills). Appropriate formats and programmes should be launched;
j. the relevance of CCI for societal transformation (hidden innovation, soft innovation, social innovation) should be more strongly emphasised and specifically promoted. Corresponding awareness-raising processes should be initiated;
k. Generations Z and Alpha (i.e. the pressing items on their agenda) must be actively involved in forthcoming processes through suitable formats. Appropriate communities must be involved in the relevant processes;
l. actively referring to European heterogeneity and the associated European values (democracy, diversity, ...) helps to create a new and sustainable soft power narrative. Appropriate expert panels should be established;
m. points h) to k) cannot be successfully implemented without developing new funding and governance structures (i.e. their specific impact measurement).
