The Baltic-Nordic Community Arts network has been developed by Culturelab (Latvia), Tartu Centre for Creative Industries (Estonia) and Virserums Konsthall (Sweden). At the core of the new network are two Baltic organizations with the experience of providing trainings for cultural managers and supporting new creative partnerships – Culturelab in Latvia and Tartu Centre of Creative Industries in Estonia along with Nordic partner – Virserums Konsthall in Sweden, an active regional NGO working with local and regional artists and communities for more than 20 years.

The main objective of the project BE the Future, aimed at young females from Sweden, Estonia and Latvia, is to raise awareness of self-employment as a career option, create a positive attitude towards entrepreneurial activity, encourage the target group to test their ideas and see entrepreneurship as a potential career option.
