At the end of this month, Utrech will host
Hello Creative World
, an event organized by
CMKBU (Creative SME Utrecht)
,
ECCE (Economic Clusters of Cultural Enterprises)
and the city council, which aims to “scale the tortuous path of developing creative entrepreneurship in education” and will involve experts from various artistic institutions, educators and specialists from the creative industries. Aside from that nice analogy of climbing (towards entrepreneurial success, presumably), we don’t find much more information on the Hello Creative World website, but it is clear that the event does not at all consider problematizing the notion of entrepreneurship, neither in the artistic/creative field nor in education. It is in the latter that we find the particularity and relevance of the event – that there are many conferences on how to undertake in the cultural sphere – and it gives a good idea of the strategic importance of the educational sector in certain political agendas. Like the
YP
we also think it is necessary to carefully reflect on the consequences of these processes.
