Young culture boost Gotland
I this project aims to vitalize young people's entrepreneurial spirit within creative industries. The core goal is to awaken and nurture entrepreneurship among youth, especially those with foreign backgrounds, in Gotland's countryside, so that they can turn their passions in music, dance, film, and culture into sustainable businesses.
About the project
In collaboration with Coompanion Gotland, Gotland Admin Center, Studieförbundet Bilda Öst, among others, DBF aims to provide tailored workshops and individual business counseling. Training ranges from creative creation to the fundamentals required to establish and run a business with a sustainability perspective. Vincent Bugozi, an experienced entrepreneur and creator, will be a central figure in delivering these interactive sessions.
The project will place great emphasis on entrepreneurship education, and in addition to group-based workshops, personal counseling will also be offered to strengthen young people's individual business ideas and promote economic independence.
In addition to the educational program, community-engaging events will be organized in Hemse and Fårösund to promote creativity and entrepreneurship locally. This provides a dynamic stage for young people to showcase their talents and creates engagement around entrepreneurship within the creative industries.
The goal is to catalyze sustainable development of the creative ecosystem in Gotland, where young people can thrive and grow, businesses can expand, and the community as a whole can enjoy the fruits of cultural and economic flourishing.
