Breads of the Creative Cities

Edition 2023

in collaboration with Istanbul UCC of Design, host city of the XV UCCN Annual Conference in 2023, the 4^th edition of the project will be characterised by new highlights:

Specific sub-project dedicated to all the Turkish UCCs: “Breads of the Creative Cities” builder of social cohesion and mutual respect (UN2030 SDG 11); a dedicated booklet describing the different bread traditions of the 7 UCC from Turkey.
Dedicated booklet related to Istanbul’s farmers, millers and bakers
During UCCN XV a series of events will be organised for attendees: round table with delegates and bakers of the participating UCCs; itineraries to visit local bakeries.
“Breads of the Creative Cities” interactive book will be edited, printed and presented to the UCCs XV participants

In partnership with Puebla UCC of Design the CK Foundation will launch a “call to action” dedicated to all the UNESCO Creative Cities to honour the hosting City of Istanbul. The current idea under development is a collaboration project within the UCCN to design a “Bread Stamp” specific for every UCC participating in the “Breads of the Creative Cities” project.

One of the main goals of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network is “Sharing of Best Practices”. To help achieve this goal, the Creative Knowledge Foundation and Tucson City of Gastronomy, in collaboration with Istanbul UNESCO Creative City of Design, are collecting information about the best practices around the world related to the bread value chain. The best practices collected will be part of a digital library. In addition, the most interesting will be presented during the XV Annual Meeting in Istanbul by Focal Points or representatives of the creative cities.
