More than 16 workplaces in 3 countries
The last project activity to support young artists in their efforts to increase their professional opportunities in the Cultural and Creative Sector was completed beyond initial expectations.
In the three countries of the consortium (Latvia, Belgium, and Greece) dozens of contacts were made with artistic and cultural organisations, companies and organisations that can make use of the skills and creativity of young artists and the results fully justify our efforts.
In the framework of these activities, at least 16 opportunities for professional development and cooperation have been created and the next period is expected to be particularly creative and productive.
