Project Summary

‘Cultivating the Entrepreneurial mindset in Education’ is a key goal of the European policies in the last years, with a special emphasis in the 2014-2020 programming period, for coping with the severe consequences of the worst economical crisis met by the Europeans after the second world war.In today’s society, entrepreneurs are celebrated for creating successful businesses and leading the people out of the economical stagnation. On the other side, based on the cliché of the starving artist, parents discourage their kids from becoming artists in fear that they will end up struggling to support themselves.Buts artists and entrepreneurs have a lot in common: both are individualist and risk takers and both need to create. Nevertheless many artists fail at business, mainly because they don’t identify a viable market to fill. Creating art good art is difficult. But creating good art isn’t enough.According to several surveys, many artists say that learning how to make the best work is crucial, but being able to disseminate in an effective way is equally as important. They all highlight how they would have greatly benefitted from developing strategic plans for their career goals while learning how to market and promote their work. Likewise, art entrepreneurs wish they had had the opportunity to acquire additional knowledge and skills.Over the last years the so called creative and cultural industries have greatly increased, proving to be driving factors of economic growth and development even in countries suffering from high crisis.Thus the project main aims are:-to professionalize HE in PS, TN and UZ in a variety of knowledge-based creative fields focusing on three macro-areas (Music, Visual Arts, Performing Arts) and their interactions by providing the future artists with entrepreneurial and interdisciplinary skills – to prepare future artists in order to enhance in a more effective way their (self) employability and capacity to access the Creative Economy
