The project aims to maximise the economic, social and cultural value of the creative and cultural arts to the regions of South West Wales and South East Ireland. The partnership will work with practitioners to foster knowledge exchange and develop new enterprise opportunities. Training will be provided in all aspects of event management, creating opportunities for exchange of best practice, and improved awareness of environmental management, legislation and social inclusion.
