CREATIVE MINDS FROM THE BALKANS Discover the projects of MOST Music’s Urban Project Hub! In this two-phase incubator programme the goal was to boost cooperation in cities between policy- makers and urban creatives across the Balkan region. Let’s meet the 12 Urban Creatives selected from the total of 21 participants in the pillar, who completed a mini-project during their time in the programme. Urban Project Hub supported music-related projects that boost the city-level or regional music scene or music market. Selected participants – aka Urban Creatives – could realise art and community projects with the 昀椀nancial and professional support of MOST, connecting the music sector and urban communities in a unique way. The o昀昀ered training, mentoring and networking opportunities helped them realise their dreams: creative camps; raising awareness in the independent music scene; or organising a festival showcasing young local artists. Let’s dive into the magical projects created by these high-impact visionaries! For more information about the Urban Project Hub participants, visit our website: mostmusic.eu/urban-creatives 108
