Building European Collaboration Through Shared Experience
During his welcome address, Jorrit Snijder emphasised the core purpose of the KreativEU partnership: "KreativEU's true value lies in creating collaborative spaces where colleagues from different institutions across Europe can connect, exchange ideas, and develop joint projects and research initiatives."
The Walking Seminar exemplifies this approach, transforming strategic partnership agreements into tangible, lived collaboration. By exploring Breda's street art together, participants engage with both the city's creative culture and each other, fostering the cross-institutional relationships essential to strengthening Europe's creative and cultural sectors.
From Documentation to Living Partnership
Events like this Walking Seminar demonstrate how the KreativEU European University Alliance moves beyond policy documents and formal structures. Through immersive, shared experiences, the partnership creates meaningful connections between institutions, disciplines, and individuals – building the foundation for future collaborative projects and research initiatives.
The seminar forms part of KreativEU's ongoing series of Walking Seminars, where partner institutions host colleagues for location-specific explorations that combine cultural heritage, creativity, and knowledge exchange.
