More about CENTRES

A New Direction worked with the Real Ideas Organisation (RIO) to pilot the delivery of the Social Enterprise Qualification (SEQ) in London. The project gave five schools the opportunity to take a group of students through the SEQ to Bronze or Silver level, and to work with a number of expert professionals from the creative industries to shape their project and develop their skills.

Pilots also took place in all but one of our partner countries, findings and best practice can be found at http://centres-eu.org/

Following completion of the international pilots, the project partners worked together to create a set of Policy Recommendations for creative entrepreneurship education. You can find these here
