seekicks programming
entrepreneurship
a specifically tailored format for students, alumni and creative professionals to identify their professional potential, support entrepreneurial activity and even found a venture.
start-up studio
the start-up studio was a collaborative participant-led, tutor/coach supported learning space where the process of creativity and design practices promoted new forms of enterprise making. To support this process, we prototyped various ways of collaborative engagement including: scaffolding, peer to peer support, critical reflective practice, and creative sharing.
professional
the former seeup program was further developed with seekicks. various seminars were designed to prepare students and graduates of art and design for their professional lives.
collabs
we had several offerings together with collaboration partners, believing that you work better together and that work needs much more perspectives in the future.
in the city
you can always find offers for self-employment, founding, funding and more in the city, e.g. kreativkultur.berlin.de
