Reducing social and economic inequalities through creative economy and social entrepreneurial interventions in Southern Mexico

£197415 focused on reducing social and economic inequalities through
creative economy and social entrepreneurial interventions in Southern

funding and focuses on driving new pathways to impact through applying
and developing CU'S Newton Brasil creative economy funding.

City of Culture 2021 bid to promote the impact of the creative economy and
social enterprises
4. Identify technical and soft skills for creative economy industries for the
social and economic transformation of women in rural and urban areas of
Yucatán.
5. Promote inclusion of rural and urban women entrepreneurs through a
Meeting Forum and Peer-to-Peer Support Network.
6. Analyse ecosystem and public policy needs to maintain creative
economy and women-led social enterprises in disadvantaged rural and
urban neighbourhoods in Latin America.
