Rekindling Creativity:
Empowering Artists in the Post-COVID Era

Although the emergency of the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be over, the consequences of the long lockdown and isolation are still visible in our society. In particular, the creative sector is one of the most influenced by the COVID19 pandemic because of the unexpected and substantial loss of income, particularly for the weakest players. This sector incorporates major worldwide entities with stable economical incomes, yet numerous little organizations and independent amateurs and professionals fundamental to the sector could face serious economic loss if not bankruptcy. This crisis creates a structural threat to the survival of many firms and workers in cultural and creative production.

Some cultural and creative sectors, such as online content platforms, have benefitted from the expanded interest in cultural content streaming during the lockdown, however, the advantages from this additional interest have generally gathered to the biggest firms in the business. Cultural and creative sectors are to a great extent made of miniature firms, non-profit organizations, and creative professionals, frequently working on the edges of monetary maintainability. Leaving behind the weaker part of the sector could cause irremediable financial and social harm. 

About the Project

The PHOENIX project addresses the above challenges and helps young amateurs, freelancers, and non-profit youth associations from the creativity sector to get back on their feet.

We do so by readapting crowdfunding, digital content creation, and community reporting to be used to link young artists to their communities and gain support from them.

We have developed an e-learning course on how to use the above methodologies to spark the creativity sectors again. We have also created an interactive virtual map, where young participants can advertise their art and get support from local communities.

E-Learning Course

Our e-course is a component of the Erasmus+ project PHOENIX (2022-1-PT02-KA220-YOU-000088212). Through this e-course, we aim to provide support to young individuals, artists, youth organizations, and cultural institutions with a community-centric approach.

Consequently, the course is structured into three units, each dedicated to a specific theme and content: Community Reporting, Digital Content Creation, and Crowdfunding.
