welcome to deus

This platform has been created thanks to the CoVE project DEUS, funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus + program in 2019.

From the very beginning, this space was designed to collect not only the outputs of the DEUS project, but all study reports, training programs, tools, reading materials and links to opportunities available at European level to support capacity building for the Creative and Cultural sector (CCI), both internationally and locally.

With this spirit, when the DEUS project ended in 2020, Materahub harnessed the platform to host resources from complementary initiatives underway.

Today, DEUS is a repository to ‘showcase’ initiatives sharing a common thread in supporting capacity building for the CCIs, plus, the experimentation carried out by past and present European Capitals of Culture, where creativity and culture are considered as assets for local sustainable development.
