The Santo Thyrso Factory hosts the AYCH Creative Jam event on 10 and 11 January. The initiative, which is part of the Atlantic Youth Creative Hubs (AYCH) project, is a competitive challenge, along with young participants will have the opportunity to form new project ideas to interact with Santo Tirso.
The Santo Tirso City Council, through INVEST Santo Tirso, is the Portuguese representative in the European project AYCH, an international partnership whose main objective is to develop new approaches in support services for young people throughout the Atlantic Area in the creative sector, seeking to foster entrepreneurship and youth employment.
Environmental and social sustainability is also one of the priorities of the Municipality of Santo Tirso, in a perspective of the evolution of the city as a creative and inclusive territory. The AYCH project also contributes to these social challenges by stimulating the participants’ creativity and critical thinking.
As part of this international partnership, the AYCH Creative Jam will be held on 10 and 11 January. Under the theme “Holy Tirso Inclusive, Sustainable and Fashionable – Reinvents the City!”, The event is a competitive, creative and enterprising challenge, in which participants will be invited to develop new ideas and projects, aiming at creating spaces and dynamics for tourism, leisure and work, to experience and interact with Santo Tirso, as a city that is intended to be inclusive, sustainable and fashionable.
The program includes visits to iconic points of the city, workshops aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and the development of specific skills and techniques, project development sessions and the final presentation of ideas in the elevator pitch format.
The AYCH project, approved by INTERREG Espaço Atlântico, has 13 partners from Portugal, Spain, France and the United Kingdom. Focused on promoting entrepreneurship and youth employment, the program offers participants multiple initiatives to develop their skills, from international placements and incubation programs to participation in workshops and competitive challenges and entrepreneurs.
