Young Enterprise through Arts is a dynamic project to encourage and support young entrepreneurs in the field of Cultural Creative Industries. It will find new ways to integrate high quality entrepreneurship education into existing youth services and structures by training youth workers.
To achieve this the project:
- Established 4 Youth Entrepreneurship through Arts REGIONAL ALLIANCES, bringing together key youth, enterprise, and social policy stakeholders to explore best practice in integrating entrepreneurship education into creative arts youth work, devising individual and collective commitments to action in a YEA ACTION PLAN;
- Created, published and promoted the “Youth Entrepreneurship through Arts Tool kit” to encourage the creation of further Alliances across Europe.
- Developed and published a course curriculum and learning materials to train youth workers to effectively engage the young people they work with in entrepreneurship education.
As a result of the project:
– hundreds of young people (18 – 30 yr olds) could strengthen their entrepreneurial mindset and acquire concrete entrepreneurial skills, manifested in the development of a proposal for a cultural project or creative initiative which is innovative, sustainable and ready to attract funding.
– Enterprise providers could find new ways of engaging with hard-to-reach young people, often from disadvantaged backgrounds.
– Youth work and Creative Arts organisations could acquire key skills to integrate entrepreneurship mindset and skills as part of their services.
– Communities could experience increase in social and knowledge capital, with young people more empowered as leaders of change in general, especially those who go on to successfully implement their cultural project.
– Stakeholders in the region were empowered to understand and actively support integrated approach to ensuring high quality entrepreneurship education for more and more young people.
