Our Goal: Creative Entrepreneurship means to put creative and entrepreneurial competences to work together. This seminar aims to prepare participants for a professional reality in which these practical competencies are increasingly demanded - whether in freelancing, founding a company, in projects or in employed work.
How? In this action-orientated workshop we will face current challenges in media and society with interdisciplinary problem solving. In interdisciplinary, cross-university teams, we work on particular relevance and originality for novel, creative business models. Since we work across disciplines and locations, the event is scheduled online. Each team will receive its own Miro board with numerous helpful tools.
For whom? The course aims at students, alumni and employees not only of the Film University, but also of our partner universities - within and outside the creative industries. We are looking for dedicated people who are interested in better understanding social and creative business challenges and solving them with novel entrepreneurial approaches! The only requirement: You are ready to apply your professional skills as a team player in novel fields.
When: Will be held on seven Tuesdays in the summer semester 2024.
