Building Bridges Cultural
Opérateur
Building Bridges Cultural Association was founded in 2008 to
promote a spirit and community integration and to foster
European culture awareness among young people.
Building Bridges is present at local level as a tool to assist and
support the implementation of non formal education courses on
Culture Management, EU Funding and IT tools for cultural
managers. We aim also to improve knowledge of European
labour system practices in the cultural sector. We organise
courses, visits and meetings, European events for public
agencies on policies concerning youth, mobility, sports, local
economic development, culture and cooperation with EU
countries and beyond. We believe that transnational experience
could offer young cultural managers the opportunity to grow
within a European dimension through their personal and
professional skills, so that they could become main actors of
the European future. Nowadays, we provide 400 mobility
grants to young people.
In 2020, we created an online platform for cultural managers
specialised in funding in the cultural sector that already
counted with over 600 students.
Projet
We want to bring young artists and young cultural managers
closer to the ICT sector by creating a Bootcamp (intensive
course) where we will include tools for creating a website with
WordPress, inbound marketing techniques, cybersecurity,
smart working, crowdfunding, copywriting, digital publishing,
digital marketing and creativity to create the future cultural
manager and ICC entrepreneurs. We also want to create a
skills manual for the entrepreneurs in ICCs, aimed at trainers
and educators so that they can get the tools and methodologies
to promote the participation of young cultural managers and
artists in the digital industry. We aim to create 3 Hubs (in each
partner's headquarters there will be 1) where these individuals
will be able to meet digital tools in person and learn how to use
them thanks to the use of non-formal education methodologies.
In the Hub we will organize 7-day acceleration programs so
that, once they have acquired the necessary knowledge, the
target groups can carry out their business cultural project idea
and make it a reality
The objectives of the project are:
-Promote the motivation and development of new interests in
young artists/young cultural managers at risk of social
exclusion (economic, geographic, refugee difficulties, first
target group) through the use of new technologies
-To promote the active participation of these target groups in
the construction of skills, knowledge and digital competences in
branding and marketing tools
-Promote a conscious and correct use of new technologies.
-Use better digital content, as well as tools and methodologies
- Boost social enterpreneurship
- Provide adult training centers with a gender perspective that
allows them to seek opportunities for a more egalitarian sector
At the quantitative level we aim to achieve:
-1 webpage
-Project profiles in Linkedin, twitter, instagram and facebook,
managed by the partnership consortia
- Intellectual outputs as guide of funding for cultural sector in
the countries involved and best practices guide
-Involve at least 200 students to participate in the Bootcamp
-At least 100 trainers and educators during the project and
more than 100 once it is finished, so that they can benefit from
the methodologies and skills manual
-At least 50 women (artists and/or cultural managers)
belonging to disadvantaged groups involved in the Hubs in
person and 100 online
-At least 20 refugee women involved in the Bootcamp and
participating in the Hub
-At least 20 public and / or private organizations that will
participate indirectly in the project
-At least 10 women and / or trainers who will get an
employment and / or internship opportunity during or after the
project ends, thanks to the learning received.
-At least 50% of the total participants must come from
disadvantaged groups (economic difficulties, residence in rural
areas, refugees)
-Increase of 20% of the number of students in activities
organized locally by the project partners.
Partenaire(s) recherché(s)
Potential partners may include cultural and Arts organisations
working broadly with young people, specially those with less
opportunities, migrants, refugees and so on. We have
preferences involving cultural and youth centres managed by
public institutions. A strong involvement in ICT technologies
will be an asset.
