“…An understanding of the relationship between creativity and sustainable development is vitally important in view of the growing importance of creative industries and governmental policies intended to increase public benefits. This relationship has been considered by a number of scholars (Balta Portoles & Dragicevic Sesic, 2017; Brocchi, 2008; Duxbury & Jeannotte, 2011; Fanea‐Ivanovici, 2018; Soini & Dessein, 2016; Streimikiene, Mikalauskiene, & Kiausiene, 2019; Wu, Fan, & Chen, 2016), notwithstanding it warrants further investigation in order to provide policymakers with some background if they are to integrate the public benefits of creative industries and creativity development through increased state support. Therefore, although it is admitted by many scholars that creativity promotes inclusive social progress and sustainable growth, there is lack of empirically tested results.…”

The creative economy is one of the fastest developing sectors in the global economy, providing income growth, new jobs and export earnings. In addition to economic benefits that flow from cultural and creative industries, the aforementioned contribute to resolving issues of sustainable urban development, as well as contributing to the 2030 Agenda, which is the main initiative of the United Nations. Although it is acknowledged by scholars that creativity promotes inclusive social progress and empowers people to take responsibility for their own economic, social and personal development and encourages innovation, which contributes significantly to sustainable growth, there is lack of empirically tested results. The article aims to analyse the linkages between the implementation of sustainable development goals achieved by countries, and the development of the creative economy in such countries. The empirical data were collected for comparison of creativity and sustainability indexes by reference to the case study of the Baltic States. Policy implications

“…As noted previously, there has only been recent recognition (despite the 1948 Human Rights Declaration) that citizens of a country should have "cultural" rights as much as they should have political or social rights (UNESCO 2005). While the acknowledgement of cultural rights is relatively recent, the way the concept is understood and practiced can differ (Hsin-Tien 2015; Portolés & Šešić 2017;Wang 2014). Cultural rights then in this context are seen as basic human rights.…”

“…So, this suggests that legal intervention is necessary for cultural rights to be enacted. It is becoming recognised too that cultural rights are a basic human right that are critical for a society to function in a free, just and democratic mode (Portolés & Šešić 2017). This means that nations need to address constitutional issues that embrace human rights to allow for cultural rights.…”

Cultural rights are becoming an increasingly important area of human rights discussion given the association between culture, identity and social equity. The subject is considered here in the context of how the absence of cultural rights influences both the recognition of the diversity of cultures and the capacity of some to access and practice art. Culture and arts practices are intertwined but certain arts practices are prioritised over others by funding bodies, governments and institutions. Recent examples from Australia are highlighted, in which changes to the cultural makeup of the country are occurring at a rapid rate without adequate responses from governments to address funding inequities. It is argued here that unless cultural rights are seen as a basic human right and embedded in the legal national framework, then sectors of the broader community are disenfranchised.

“…Besides, this chapter paints higher education as a link between education as a process, cultural life, creativity and innovation within a person. It acts as one's route to success, enhances one's social and cultural connections that are important to maintaining and fulfilling expectations or needs of equality and productivity [2,3]. In brief, higher education is an evolving concept based on the freeing of the mind that looks ahead to bringing about a new level of self-actualization and empowerment to an individual student and institutional level for the sound growth of a modern society [4].…”

Higher Education - Reflections From the Field - Volume 1

The changes experienced by African higher education institutions over the past decade remain unprecedented. An increasing external pressure, linked to the broader and modern concept of higher education that looks beyond to bringing about a new level of self-empowerment and graduate’s employability has consequently, brought about a need for overhauling higher education systems in African countries. Eventually, the validity of higher education reflections from the field amid COVID-19 crisis, casts back a light to conducting a serious educational discussion. This chapter argues neither recognized framework established nor innovative strategies are considered beyond teaching and learning to observe higher education as a fulcrum of knowledge based learning in African higher education. Findings from a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews with 30 creative entrepreneurs and arts alumni from the University of Dar-Es-Salaam and other East African universities, reveal that many suffer a social undermining problem. Hence, there is an importance of enhancing educational innovation by cultivating social capital while at university.
