The Center for Creative and Cultural Industries (CCI) has been accepted as a member of the Youth Democracy Cohort. The Youth Democracy Cohort is one of several multi-stakeholder platforms that have been launched as part of the Year of Action of the Summit for Democracy, initiated by U.S. President Joe Biden in Dec. 2021 and where President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, also participated. The Cohorts bring together governments, civil society and the private sector – and their resources, activities and expertise – to advance good governance and democratic renewal around the world.
The CCI will use its membership to this prestigious organization to support its students and further its research in cultural diplomacy.
