A New Creative Europe-Funded Project: “AWAKE – Arts & Wellbeing As a Creative Business and Future Livelihood”
We are thrilled to be the lead partner in the new Creative Europe co-funded project, AWAKE.
“AWAKE – Arts & Wellbeing As a Creative Business and Future Livelihood” project aims to explore the intersection of arts and wellbeing from the perspective of creative business and future livelihood. By spotlighting emerging collaborative practices between arts and wellbeing, the project will provide valuable educational material (a case book of business models), training opportunities (workshops and a bootcamp) and facilitate a purposeful and diverse round table discussion. Our goal is to create avenues for entrepreneurial ventures and business prospects within this dynamic field. The work on the implementation officially starts now, in November 2023, and will span over two years.
Stay tuned as we embark on this transformative journey, promoting future solutions for holistic wellbeing and economic sustainability for both – the cultural and health sectors!
