💡 About the Project
"ACT – Creative Entrepreneurship is a 4-day Erasmus+ Training Course (plus 2 travel days) designed to empower young people and youth workers active or interested in the creative and cultural sectors. The training focuses on creative entrepreneurship, advocacy, and engagement with European policies that affect creative industries. Participants will explore opportunities and challenges faced by young creative entrepreneurs in Europe, learn and practice advocacy tools (such as storytelling, campaigning, and working with decision-makers), and co-create practical resources for the ACT4EU Advocacy Toolbox. The training uses non-formal education, peer learning, design thinking, and creative methods to support participants in developing concrete follow-up actions in their local communities.
