About the Short Course
The Creative Economy short course helps artists and teachers use their culture to make meaningful work and earn money. The course is based on research from 16 projects in 14 African countries.
The course has two parts and six short units. It shows how to:
- turn creative ideas into a business
- find customers and markets
- work with others and build networks
- plan for long‑term, sustainable work
The course has videos, simple activities, reflection questions and real case studies. You can use it in a studio, classroom or community space. By the end, students will understand the creative economy and feel more confident using their culture in their work.
To engage with the free-to-view videos that accompany this course, please visit the DEPA YouTube channel.
