Cultural entrepreneurship, in EU context, is a theme that plays an important role. One of the primary, focuses of the EU is to create occupation, in order to tackle with the labour market’s demand that, in many cases, doesn’t comply with job offer, especially for young people. The number of “NEETs” (young people neither in employment nor in education or training) is rapidly increasing after the global financial economic crisis. This category remains out of working sectors for a long time because they don’t have the skills required by the labour market and thus, they can’t find a job. In fact, more than half of the 12 million long-term unemployed are considered as low-skilled. For these reasons, we have prepared the RESONANT proposal to achieve new skills and qualifications that will guarantee higher levels of employability.
