Creating Creative Communities started as a research project and resource for students and graduates in creative fields. It explored and identified ways in which people can gain entry into creative industries by utilising the skills and networks built through collaborative working. This was done by encouraging students and graduates to initiate and participate in creative group projects through a Facebook page, and blogging tips on how to make the most out of collaborations: creatingcreativecommunities.tumblr.com
Other outcomes included publications such as the Handbook on Collaboration which were published online.
