AWAKE project aims to explore the intersection of arts and wellbeing from the perspective of creative business and future livelihood. By spotlighting emerging collaborative practices between arts and wellbeing, the project will provide valuable educational material (a case book of business models), training opportunities (workshops and a bootcamp) and facilitate a purposeful and diverse round table discussion. Our goal is to create avenues for entrepreneurial ventures and business prospects within this dynamic field.
