We Completed Our First Desk Research
As part of Task 2.1 – Desk Research and Needs Mapping, we explored the national contexts of Cyprus, Greece, the Netherlands and Sweden at the intersection of creative entrepreneurship, regenerative economics and futures literacy. Each of us produced a National Research Brief analysing the main challenges faced by artists and entrepreneurs, existing initiatives, missing opportunities, key stakeholders and emerging learning needs. By comparing our four national contexts, we identified several shared challenges, including financial precarity, limited entrepreneurial skills for artists and a lack of structured spaces connecting the cultural and business sectors. These findings now form the basis of the D2.1 Transnational Synthesis Report.
