MOVE & ACT - Empower Youth through Entrepreneurial and Digital Skills

During the pandemic, the social distancing and isolation, that happened the two last years due to pandemic, revealed a great demand for young people to stay connected with other peers, to interact, to keep on developing professional skills, creativity and imagination. Young people in many countries were confined to their homes and, for many of them digital technologies and arts, were the only way of expression and connection with the outside world.

Apart from the general youth population many young people around the world depend on the cultural and creative industries for their livelihoods. Yet, the often precarious nature of their work has made artists and cultural professionals particularly vulnerable to the economic shocks that the pandemic has triggered. A need for new entrepreneurial ventures started to appear.
