Creating cultural heritage businesses through hybrid learning models & hands-on curricula across borders—Cultural BEES
The “Cultural BEES” project will develop and implement a training programme and digital toolkit supporting the promotion of entrepreneurship skills among youth in the Cultural and Creative Industries CCI, with a specific focus on Cultural Heritage.
The project, led by JA Europe, aims at providing youth aged 15-30 years with the necessary skills, knowledge, and tools to succeed in their careers within the CCI sector: The Cultural BEES programme will be designed to support youth in developing their business ideas in the Cultural Heritage sector and to provide them with the means and skills to ensure that their projects are sustainable, inclusive, and innovative. This will be achieved through a combination of face-to-face training sessions, self-paced online learning, and virtual communities. Large-scale piloting of the programme will include 1.000 youth from Cyprus, Bulgaria, and Italy.
