Cultural BEES

The general objective of the “Cultural BEES” – Creating cultural heritage businesses through hybrid learning models & hands-on curricula across borders project is to develop and implement a training program and digital toolkit that support the promotion of entrepreneurship skills in the Cultural and Creative Industry among youth.

Inspired by the Junior Achievement training model “Inspire-Prepare-Succeed”, the project is aimed at providing the target groups, 15–18-year-old students and 18-30 year old young people, with the necessary skills, knowledge, and tools to succeed in their careers within the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) sector. The program is designed to support the target groups in developing their ideas, projects, and businesses in the CCI 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.

Within the project, it is planned to carry out large-scale piloting of the developed methodology, including the training of 1000 students at secondary and tertiary level education, in 3 European countries (Cyprus, Bulgaria and Italy). Cultural BEES consortium is composed of 11 partners, (i.e., the JA Europe and three JAs in partner countries, two universities, one social enterprise, one strategic design hub, one association of municipalities and two SMEs) and one associated partner (i.e. UNESCO Cyprus), from 6 EU countries (Belgium, Cyprus, Slovenia, Italy, Poland, Bulgaria), selected on the basis of their complementary skills and the different areas of expertise that are necessary for the successful implementation. The Consortium has structured its activities into 6 work packages (WP), scheduled to run for 36 months: Project management and coordination, Skills mapping, Training design and development, Testing and implementation in Schools and Universities, Best Practices and Policy Recommendations, Communication and Dissemination.
