For English speakers
During this night the main language will be Dutch. If you only speak English, please let us know at info@cnol.be. We will happily accommodate a meeting where we take you through the platform Open Creatives.

Open Creatives is a new platform for the cultural and creative sector. Perhaps you heard about it some time ago, or you are still receiving emails from the platform. But what does it actually mean: a platform?

During an inspiring evening, CultuurNetwerk Leuven will take you through the story behind Open Creatives. We will explain why the platform was established, what you can do with it, how it works, and what it can mean for you. Of course, there will also be space for all your questions.
