PAVILIONS OF CREATIVITY
PAVILLIONS OF CREATIVITY
The UNESCO Creative Cities Conference of Fabriano will not be limited to hotels and conference centres but will take place in the beautiful city itself. This will be possible thanks to a significant urban intervention.
On this occasion and with the aim to experience new ways of living in the city and its beautiful surroundings the Seven Pavilions of Creativity will be set up.
Each pavilion will represent a creative category of the network and will be located in a specific area of Fabriano that is emblematic of the creative development of the town. The pavilions will represent the beautiful and unique features of cities belonging to the seven categories of the network.
This will be done through images, products, and multimedia contents.
Renowned designers and professionals, selected through competitions for ideas and national projects, will be in charge of the set-up of all pavilions. Other Italian cities of the network, according to their own category, will work with each other to enhance the objectives of the pavilions through international cooperative projects.

The pavilions will be set up to foster participation, relationship-building and delegate meetings with economic operators and relevant stakeholders.
The Coordination of Italian UNESCO Creative Cities will support Pavillions through thematic calls, involving creatives all over the world in designing works of art, projects and initiatives, installations to be shown in the Pavillions of Creativity.
