About the Project
Proposing a holistic approach for the cultivation of the entrepreneurial skills and competences of ACCPs
The ArtCRelief project addresses the challenge that the covid-19 pandemic has caused to artists, culture and creative professionals (ACCPs) in continuing their activities, leading to the necessity to adapt and switch into different business models. The cultivation of entrepreneurial attitude, the upgrade of the role of innovation in business, the orientation towards digital cultural offer and presence on the internet, and the promotion of collaborations could support ACCPs to survive from the pandemic crisis and be prepared for the new era after the pandemic.
It is believed that the pandemic crisis will spur the digitalization of culture and accelerate the digital shift, while competition in the digital markets will call for more plural products. Survival in the new era will be based on new business models, digitalization, collaboration, innovation, adaptation, flexibility.
