We had met the representative of the CENTRES project (Creative Entrepreneurship in Schools). The project creates a European forum for issues relating to entrepreneurship education specific to creative industries and for sharing innovation and best practice in this field. All of the partners involved in the consortium see a need for increased international networking and a combined European approach, which are currently lacking. The CENTRES project is carried out in Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, Finland, Poland, Slovenia and the UK.

The chance to meet people, who are behind the project to discuss future goals and aims of this very ambitious project, helped us to better understand the situation and problems connected with the desired increase of the employability of university graduates within the creative disciplines.

We also received useful information about upcoming 22nd ENCATC Annual Conference held in Brno and we have decided to contact the organizers of the conference and inform them about our project and its goals to see if there is a chance to present our project at the conference.
