project description
BusYouth aspires to give to young people that are employed or wish to be employed as entrepreneurs in the creative sector and more specifically the Applied Arts, the necessary skills in order to surpass barriers and flourish in this sector.
Young people especially in the creative sector tend to be self-employed rather than being employees in cultural and creative organisations. Nevertheless, they present a lot of basic skills gaps referring to entrepreneurship as to how to establish and sustain a business. This project will try to overcome the specific barriers and additionally, help them support and enhance their network.

Using innovative promotion techniques, such as Email Marketing, Search Engine Optimization, and Social Media Marketing techniques, the project will use digital outreach as the main way to attract learners.
