ECHE - European Cultural Heritage Entrepreneurship

Currently, in the European Union, over 300 000 people are employed in the cultural heritage (CH) sector. It has been estimated that about 90% of jobs will require digital skills in the future (EU2020). Thus, education and training institutions need to adjust to the changing environment and provide training for improving digital skills and knowledge. The European Cultural Heritage Entrepreneurship (ECHE) project helps to develop and assess entrepreneurial skills for cultural heritage entrepreneurship (CHE) and improve digital competences in young people by supporting personalised learning approaches, collaborative learning and strategic use of ICT. Special focus of this project will be on youth with less opportunities (rural location, low, socio-economic status etc). In general, the project will support cooperation, it will promote new activities for youth, enhance coherence and acceptance in communities.
