The British Council in collaboration with Microsoft has launched a new programme to support young African entrepreneurs in the creative sector. The objective of the programme is to offer creative business management knowledge to creative entrepreneurs at various levels from beginner to advanced levels and opportunities for networking and knowledge sharing. It is open to youths aged 18 – 35 years. While the face-to-face interactive workshops are to be held in Zimbabwe, participants from Nigeria and other parts of Sub-Saharan Africa can partake online.
The two-day workshop will be all about creative entrepreneurship and applications close on 25 November 2022.
