Creative Entrepreneurship
Start Up to Success Beirut
In November 2011, Sarah Thelwall (MyCake.org) and Percy Emmett (NESTA) delivered a series of enterprise skills workshops for young creative entrepreneurs in Beirut.
The British Council’s Creative and Cultural Economy programme connects people who work in and inform the creative and cultural industries around the world with those in the UK.
It provides a global support network for the new leaders in this increasingly important sector, which represents 9% of global trade and creates new livelihoods for many.
As well as stimulating economic growth, they are also imagining some new and resourceful responses to social, cultural and technological challenges.
The UK has much to share from its considerable experience of developing the Creative and Cultural Economy and the British Council is committed to supporting the international exchange of ideas and collaboration.
On this website, you can find out more about the British Council’s support and network of creative entrepreneurs, cultural leaders and policy makers and opportunities to get involved.
