ekip´s profile of the month: Zora Jaurová

Zora Jaurová is a culture expert from Slovakia, president of the Slovakian Creative Industry Forum, specialist in cultural policies and international cultural cooperation. Creative Industry Forum in Slovakia is one of the ekip’s network partners.

“As I was once told by one European politician, it is very uncommon for people from creative industries to go into the politics, because their jobs are so much more interesting. So, since I have started as a Member of Slovak Parliament today, lets see if that is true…:). My agenda will be of course culture, creative industries and their role for creating a better future and protect democracy. The ekip project gives me very important European context and inspiration for that. Wish me luck in this mission, dear ekip friends!”
