Territorial Creative Responses

Innovative response

This space, initiated by the CNFPT and the actors of territorial public innovation, aims to organize support and mutual aid between agents of the territorial public service, local communities and more broadly between citizens and any actor contributing to the common good in the territories. It is also an opportunity to learn together about the crisis in the context of innovative distance learning formats. Each contribution constitutes collective intelligence. Each contribution strengthens our common resources.

The French 'Territorial Creative Responses' hub allows people to submit 'sheets' that describe (or collect) creative initiatives by particular types of actors within society.

These can include anything from an online cultural festival in Grenoble to archiving projects for peopels' daily lives during quarantine to local agricultural initiatives.

Citizens can learn more about them through a database or interactive map, or filter initiatives according to different filters.

Specific issues addressed and anticipated impact

Initiatives on a local scale are vital to keep communities functioning, but they often remain different in size and shape due to their local context (as opposed to regional or national). As such, this platform will enable citizens to share and learn from each others' local projects, to better improve new ones, avoid any duplication, and enhance community projects.
