Hello everyone 👋

We’d like to open a discussion around a recent Cultural BEES article that explores why soft skills are becoming essential for entrepreneurship in the Cultural and Creative Industries:

👉 Soft skills & entrepreneurship: transforming the Cultural and Creative Industries:

The article highlights how skills such as creativity, communication, adaptability, collaboration, and problem‑solving are not just “nice to have”, but are increasingly core capabilities for cultural entrepreneurs — especially when working across disciplines, communities, and cultural spaces.

Let’s open the floor:

  1. Which soft skills do you feel you are developing most through Cultural BEES?
  2. Have any training sessions, cultural visits, or discussions helped you see your skills differently?
  3. How do you think soft skills can help cultural ideas become real, viable initiatives or businesses?

Whether you are a learner, educator, or project partner, feel free to share:

  1. a short reflection,
  2. a concrete example, or
  3. a question you’d like to explore with others.

This forum is a shared space to connect learning with practice — we’re looking forward to reading your perspectives 🌱
