If so, apply to participate in the British Council’s Creative Cities: Innovation for Urban Challenges workshop for social enterprises that will be held in Warsaw on 21-23 March 2010. If you are selected, the British Council will cover the cost of your participation, including accommodation; we would like you to cover the cost of your travel.

The Creative Cities: Innovation for Urban Challenges workshop aims to support the management and delivery of social enterprises from several European countries. It will centre around four themes: the business idea, its profitability, management and sustainability. We will showcase best practice in a sequence of master classes run by some of Europe’s leading social, creative and civic entrepreneurs. Participants will have an opportunity to exchange ideas on how to deal with challenges their enterprises face.
