Creative Bloom: Empowering female creative entrepreneurs

In the regions of both Latvia and Estonia, there is less employment and individual business forms for women, but large national cultural heritage of different forms of creative skills and vocations. One of the potential development groups are women who have the knowledge and experience for their creative pursuits but may not be able to move on toward their own entrepreneurship. To change the situation, it is necessary to develop knowledge and skill capacity, the lack of which creates challenges for business development.

The project aims to empower new creative female entrepreneurs over 40 years of age in Ida-Viru region, Estonia, and Vidzeme region, Latvia, and give them the freedom and self-confidence on the labour market. More specifically, the partners plan to increase the entrepreneurship of at least 20 ladies, 10 from each country, with the help of a tailor-made entrepreneurship programme in the field of creative industries carried out in cross-border cooperation.
