Active Creative

Stimulating the spirit of the cultural and creative entrepreneurship

The Active Creative Project - stimulating the spirit of cultural and creative entrepreneurship, aims to improve business and entrepreneurial competences among representatives of the creative sector from Poland and Norway, internationalize their achievements, build a cooperation network, and create favorable conditions for the creation and development of creative sector organizations. When preparing the project concept, the bidders were guided by the goals and needs defined in national and EU strategies as well as consultations conducted with organizations operating in the creative sector as well as existing business and academic partners and the administration.

The project will include a number of activities to improve the skills of creative entrepreneurs, including:

  • workshops,
  • curriculum manager - creative,
  • consultations,
  • interactive exhibitions,
  • study visits,
  • creative congress,
  • creative places,
  • creative secretariats,
  • a strategy to strengthen entrepreneurship in the creative sector
  • executive training,
  • support for companies and institutions from the creative and cultural sectors covered by the support.
  • digital art place

Creative Secretariat

Operation of a permanent consulting point, where entities from the creative sector can receive assistance in the field of law, accounting, commercialization and internationalization of activities. Secretariat will assistance to individuals, companies and NGOs with a low level of development, i.e. weak in terms of infrastructure, with low awareness of the possibility of taking action and initiative groups conducting cultural and creative activities.

Cooperation with organizations begins with the submission of relevant documents, i.e. an application, including the entity/group's action plan for 12 months (with particular emphasis on cultural and creative activities addressed to the city's residents (especially seniors and people under 30), readiness to obtaining external funds, the possible degree of use of the received space, a plan to take actions aimed at making the organization independent).
