Aims
What our project is aiming to
To develop a tailored Arts and Humanities entrepreneurship model that improves the long-term entrepreneurial prospects for A&H students.
To create 7 new A&H Entrepreneurship Hubs situated in partner faculties. These will be the specialist conduits for permanently improving the entrepreneurial skill-sets of A&H staff and students as well as a template for wider exploitation.
To have Higher Education Institutions, creative industries, businesses and stakeholders working together to champion the value of A&H students to a wider audience and ensure that industry need is reflected in the training programmes.
Develop new, innovative and multidisciplinary approaches to teaching and learning by building a mix of training methodologies based on entrepreneurship education, mentoring and application of research outcomes to support innovation in businesses.
Stimulate entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial skills of higher education teaching staff by creating ‘Entrepreneurship Hubs’ in partner faculties. This will include training university staff on how to support students in developing their entrepreneurial attributes, strengthening their business ideas and becoming more employable.
Facilitate the exchange, flow and co-creation of knowledge by promoting cross-fertilisation in the knowledge alliance based on connecting [introducing] arts and humanities students with [to] a range of inter-disciplinary businesses in order to improve enterprise skills, encourage entrepreneurship and foster innovation within partner businesses.
