The Creative Enterprise Programme network expands with the recruitment of workshop associates in West Africa, East Africa, Egypt and Ukraine.
Creative Enterprise Programme Workshop Associates were recently recruited to facilitate the Creative Enterprise Programme, a three-day capacity-building workshop for creative entrepreneurs around the world.
There are now independent UK-based associates and “local” associates in West Africa, East Africa, Egypt and Ukraine. The local associates are based in British Council target regions in order to help embed the programme in the local landscape. They do this by increasing reach to creative communities, drawing on real market knowledge, connecting with participants through shared culture and language, and maintaining longer term engagements with participants for maximum impact. We hope to recruit more local associates in further regions throughout 2018/19.
The West Africa associates are all based in Nigeria, but deliver the Creative Enterprise Programme across a number of countries in the region. Here, we are excited to introduce the four Creative Enterprise Programme local workshop associates for West Africa.
