Cultural Entrepreneurs

A Virtual Capacity Building Program in Cultural Entrepreneurship

Yes Theatre is inviting the Palestinian young artists who are specialised in performing arts to apply for a virtual capacity-building program in Cultural Entrepreneurship.

“The Creative Lab and Incubator” is a new innovative and thrilling in partnership between Yes Theatre and Al Asfari Foundation. The programme is designed over a three year span, starting in 2020. This Capacity building programme is a part of the Creative Lab and Incubator.

The creative lab and incubator aims to:

1. Establish the “Yes Theatre Cultural Entrepreneurship Lab” as a role model in the cultural sector and a specialised agency to teach entrepreneurial skills to the youth, in order to motivate them to become self-employed and to initiate artistic and creative projects.
2. Develop the work of young Palestinian artists by building their capacities in cultural entrepreneurship and support them to establish their social start-ups.
3. 20 practitioners are invited to participate in the second cultural HACKATHON. (You want to know what a Hackathon is: i.e. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj4DQfYx2Hg). This is an example how Yes Theatre for Communication among youth advances its cultural sector to integrate new models and modalities of innovation.
4. Yes Theatre is embracing in its strategic plan the main elements of cultural entrepreneurship, where the Creative Lab and Incubator come handy to achieve its strategy.
5. Build the capacities of Yes Theatre staff in business planning in terms of cultural entrepreneurship.
6. A human capital development plan for Yes Theatre staff is developed with a particular focus on cultural entrepreneurship.
7. Develop the capacity of Yes Theatre graduates and staff in artistic and cultural entrepreneurship fields.
8. Develop the capabilities of Yes Theatre staff and graduates in designing and implementing cultural hackathons.

Yes Theatre is therefore inviting the Palestinian young artists who are specialised in performing arts to apply for a virtual capacity-building program in Cultural Entrepreneurship.
