Fulbright Canada’s Post

💼 "I chose to participate in this exchange primarily for its educational value. As luthiers, we always work alone and have few opportunities for exchange. These opportunities must be seized because they allow you to grow professionally." 🌐 "We are always open to opportunities like this, which provide an extraordinary chance to lay the foundations for significant collaborations and build your own network at a European level." With these words, Luca Olzer (luthier) and Paola Moschini (Founder & CEO of Macro Design Studio) describe their experience after participating in "Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs", the international entrepreneurial mentoring program that offers the opportunity to collaborate with experienced entrepreneurs from another country 🇪🇺 Discover their story and how to follow the same path ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dYs2nbYM

🌟 More embracing Insights from a 24-Hour Journey! ✈️ As someone deeply passionate about education and EdTech, diving into business concepts was a bit out of my comfort zone. I usually refer to some key concepts like UVP, Product Market Fit, etc... But recently, I had the opportunity to go deeper into the world of business with thePower MBA, and it's been truly eye-opening. One standout moment was a chat between Borja Adanero Guinea and Uri Levine, where they talked about the importance of adapting a business model to new opportunities. Uri Levine's insights were inspiring. He emphasized the need for businesses to adapt and innovate, showing how the business canvas can guide this process. 📈 Now, armed with this newfound knowledge, I'm eager to apply it in the Teacherpreneurship Program for Latam and MEET - Middle East Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow, where Israeli and Palestinian students work together on entrepreneurial ventures. 💼 🌍

Why Cooperative Cultural Entrepreneurship? The arts sector is characterized by its short-term contracts and part-time jobs, which generate precarious conditions, and instability. This unstable context deprives artists from underprivileged backgrounds of entering the art world. Cooperatives are democratic business models in which cooperatives can subvert the capitalist logic behind a business. Their principles are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity. We have created an online course on Cooperative Cultural Entrepreneurship that will serve as an introduction to the concepts of solidarity economy, entrepreneurship and the arts. The program is divided into 5 topics:  - Introduction to Cooperative and Solidarity Economy - Ideation of a cooperative business in the arts sector - Understanding of customer needs - Creation of a Cooperative Business Model - Effectively communicating a business idea Apply for your scholarship to join the Online Course on Cooperative Cultural Entrepreneurship before the 22nd of April.
