Why run a Createathon?
Running a Createathon has benefits for both students and creative entrepreneurs. Here are a few reasons why we think it's a great event to run:
Benefits to Students:
- Gain experience of working with Creative and Cultural enterprises
- Develop understanding and empathy for the context of the entrepreneurial life world
- Put theory into practice
- Develop team working skills (potentially cross-cultural)
- Learn new tools and techniques
- Opportunity to challenge themselves and demonstrate the value they can deliver
Benefits to Creative and Cultural enterprises:
- Learn through collaborating with students and graduates, with fresh perspectives, skills and academic knowledge
- Possibility to accelerate business development
- Validation of the business and the business owner
- Gain new connections with a university/business school, other businesses and the wider local ecosystem
