A.C.T.4EU aims to empower at least 40 creative entrepreneurs through training in advocacy and lobbying, support 20 underrepresented creatives in launching entrepreneurial ventures, establish a mentorship network connecting 40 young creatives with professionals, and develop a pilot project proposal for cross-sector collaboration to improve mental health outcomes using creative methods. These goals promote capacity building, inclusivity, and innovation in the creative industries.

We will conduct training in advocacy and lobbying for creative entrepreneurs, organize mentorship sessions, and design an online accelerator program. Additionally, we will host cross-sector roundtable discussions, and develop a Toolbox for creative entrepreneurs and a cross-sector Collaboration Guidebook. The project will culminate in dissemination events and a final multiplier event to share outcomes and resources.

The project will produce an Advocacy Toolbox, an Inclusive Entrepreneurship Accelerator program, a Creative Mentorship Platform, and a Cross-Sector Collaboration Guidebook. We expect 5 youth-driven policy proposals, 5 entrepreneurial ventures launched, 40 creative entrepreneurs mentored, and a pilot project proposal for mental health initiatives. These outcomes will enhance the capacity and visibility of creative entrepreneurs across Europe.
