The work to include Penedo in the Program Creative Cities Network, an initiative held by UNESCO, is in its full power. The city is included in the Cinema category and acts united to win the seal.
To achieve its goal, City Hall representatives, on its third sector, from higher education institutions, historians, from civil society, and remaining areas from creative economy, joined a new meeting with SEBRAE consultant, Eduardo Barroso.
The meeting was held in the Retirement House on Tuesday, 10th, and its main objective was creating the dossier, the main material to completing the Penedo application process.
“We gathered all the information we have until now, verified if they are complete, if they need any supplementation or decrement, and at the same time, we supplemented it with some items that need answers based on concrete actions.” Said the consultant that guides the working group.
Besides the workshop of the dossier, there was also a videoconference to celebrate the partnership with the other five participant North Eastern cities within the Creative Cities Network.
“We worked on our dossier and joined a conference with the representatives of the cities of João Pessoa, Salvador, Fortaleza, Recife e Campina Grande. It was a very useful moment for the construction of a unified project that strengthens our candidacy and creates a knowledge exchange that favors the creative economy in our city.” explains Jair Galvão, Secretary of Tourism in Penedo.
