In the period between 01-10.12.2020 HAEMUS organized trainings for e-entrepreneurship in the field of creative industries. The main goal of this project was concrete and practical education, as well as raising awareness of the opportunities offered with the help of the digital economy. The central focus of the project were the workshops methodologically designed to cover the most basic information, problems, advantages and challenges faced by all who independently, or within an organization, institution or company step into this type of activity. The target group, whether they are individuals or legal entities, were individual authors, craftsmen and small and medium enterprises or legal entities that are part of the creative industry of Skopje.
Before selecting the specific topics for training, in order for better realization of the series of workshops, the project management and implementation plan started with two online surveys (one public survey and one pre-registration accompanied by a survey made as Google Doc applications). These surveys were answered by 66 respondents from the field of creative industries, to questions that helped us to narrow the selection of lecturers and topics for the workshops.
The trainings for the registered participants were free of charge and they were organized online, through the ZOOM platform. The project was in co-partnership with MkHost.mk, Ukion.mk, Pepeljugoski Law Office and New Moment Skopje company as well as with few other successful creative entrepreneurs. The project was financially co-supported by the City of Skopje, within the program for support of the Sector for Local Economic Development for 2020.
