Content: Kreatörsverkstaden offers training for cultural creators, performers and creators in the fields of image, photography, video, design, performing arts, text and music with a particular focus on sustainability, art entrepreneurship and digitalisation. The aim is to strengthen the participants' position in the labour market.

Sustainability is about changing from the ground up, about having a sustainability mindset in everything from purchasing and production to communication, marketing and product development. Training in sustainability provides not only new skills and an understanding of why we need to change, but also a competitive advantage in tomorrow's labour market.

The cultural entrepreneurs, the artepreneurs, are important for economic development: directly in the form of cultural experiences, services and products provided to citizens and visitors, and indirectly as the cultural sector's actors with their creative skills contribute to development in other sectors of society. In the education programme, we want to highlight and strengthen the competences and skills that contribute to sustainable cultural entrepreneurship.
