Smart entrepreneurial skills for Creative Industries: an inclusive perspective

Description

"Creative industries realise a vast number of activities which includes not only the so called cultural industries (such as media, design, the movies), but also products and services that contain as a substantial element a creative or artistic effort, thus considering also architecture, fashion, communication. Despite the great potential of creative and cultural enterprises - according to the EU Commission there are abt. 900.000 in Europe who represent the 3 % of the overall European GIP (402 billion of Euros) and a relevant quota of jobs - those enterprises are widely undervalued. Therefore, they do not only need support to the entrepreneurial component, but also the establishment of stronger relations with assets of consolidated manufacture.Smart Jump www.smartjump.eu has achieved from the outset the goal of strengthening links between training environments and the world of work through the improvement of the training offer (with a reduction in the lack of specific skills for entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship) and the support of governance of education and training systems, as interactions between training organizations, companies, policy-makers and society as a whole become increasingly more and more complex. More specifically, the aim was to strengthen the quality of the learning offer linked to entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship of young women who already operate within or are approaching for the first time the creative industries sector. Starting from the model of the Quadruple Helix, developed in Sweden with the Women Resource Center and aimed at developing female entrepreneurship through joint actions between representatives of the public, business, academics and civil society, Smart Jump has worked to align the training offer at local level and partner countries to the economic development strategies geared towards growth and innovation. Smart Jump realised a mix of activities and results, sharing the Swedish experience, jointly developing training content for both senior and junior, female and male entrepreneurs, activating transnational training actions (mobility and blended workshops), setting up the Smart Jump community www.factoryofknowledge.net/smartjump, participated by entrepreneurs and professionals who pursue to establish a network at European level on the project’ topics.The strategic partnership consisting of 8 partners from 5 EU Member States (Italy, Sweden, Spain, Hungary and the United Kingdom) has seen the active participation of public bodies (such as the Veneto Region and IAF) and private bodies (such as Confindustria Veneto SIAV, WINNET Sverige, INDICO and ITL Group) representatives of the entrepreneurial world, the academia (CUOA Business School and in the first phase Goldsmiths' University of London) and the development of human capital.The critical analysis of the Swedish approach, adopting the cooperation model, integrating existing practices in partner countries and defining the training contents for entrepreneurial development has generated a model of learning and cooperation that has been validated through 2 transnational learning activities of ""blended mobility for VET learners"" in Italy and Sweden, with combined webinar and training courses jointly attended by direct beneficiaries and staff of the partners: 47 female and male entrepreneurs, companies, researchers, training specialists and human resources, associations and young people. The two pilot actions addressed the topics of sustainable innovation, entrepreneurship, cooperation with Quadruple helix and the resulting methodologies for technology and knowledge transfer between the key players and finally the connection between creative industries and productive sectors. A complete programme for the valorisation and networking of experiences and skills at transnational level has found its expression through face-to-face meetings and the digital hub www.factoryofknowledge.net/smartjump.Regarding benefits and impact of Smart Jump, the project has activated a process of improvement of the training offer of the partners, has allowed the development of skills useful for enhancing entrepreneurial activity, supporting organizations linked to industrial systems. In the long term, Smart Jump intends to have a systemic value in allowing a concrete improvement in the way public and private organizations involved interact and work to enhance the role of young people and women, entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs, interested in the creative industries."
