Questioning Creatives - Chapter 1: Finding your creative path

Stepping into the creative industry is exciting. But also confusing and a little lonely - whether you’re fresh out of school, freelancing on your own, or trying to realign your career with your values.

That’s why this chapter, "Finding Your Creative Path," explores how different creatives step into the field, navigate their challenges, and stay grounded in what matters to them. This gathering is a space for purpose-driven creatives to feel seen, understood, and supported. It’s a chance to share experiences, ask honest and critical questions, while connecting with others who share your ups and downs.

Questioning Creatives is a non-profit organisation. We facilitate and encourage critical thinking in the Danish creative sphere. We bother because we believe in backing and building a sustainable approach to creativity - on an individual, industry, and societal level.
