Developing entrepreneurial skills through cultural activities

In accordance to the National Policy Statement for the Enhancement of the Entrepreneurship Ecosystem in Cyprus (2015) the Ministry of Education,, Sport and Youth aims at promoting entrepreneurial mindset through the educational system, as mentioned in sub-chapter 3.8 Development of entrepreneurship competence. In the same chapter, information can be obtained on the enhancement of entrepreneurial activities in the public universities. There is no strategic focus to the development of entrepreneurial skills through cultural activities. This is rather acquired experientially through the cultural activities of the schools and universities.
