The handbook will contain a plethora of information, good practices, practical applications and tips, adapted to non-formal educational contexts that will motivate Artists and Culture workers to flourish professionally. It can be used either by the Artists themselves for self-education or by Youth Workers who may utilise the applications to their teaching curriculum or other professionals with relevant expertise. The Handbook will include the following three core modules: (1) Psychological Empowerment (2) Entrepreneurship and Employability Skills (3) Digital Skills. 

It will take place in each partner country with the participation of 20 Young Artists and Culture and Creative sector professionals. Pilot trainers will assist participants on how to effectively use the Handbook. All the participants will be trained on how to use Positive Psychology principles to enrich their competencies as artists and creators, acquire entrepreneurship and digital skills and become better equipped on promoting their work more effectively. In particular, this action will focus on the main modules below: A). Art Entrepreneurship and Employability skills (financial management, goal-setting, creativity) B). Digital Skills (digital marketing, digital communication, negotiation) C). Psychological Capacities (strengths, empowerment, emotional regulation, self-confidence, motivation)

Another Pilot Training Course will take place in each partner country to train Youth Workers, Teachers, Educators, Art Managers, Career Counsellors and other professionals with relevant expertise, in specialised counselling, support and guidance for Young Artists. It will be offered in a blended gamified environment offering opportunities for real-world problem solving and psychological capacity-building with a focus on resilience and determination.

This phase of the project will be dedicated to the development of the online modules and the online space with available tools and resources, which will serve as a one-stop-shop providing instant access to the full suite of gamified digital learning resources. Additionally, blended learning modules and OERs will be developed in order to support the delivery of the training material and the Handbook, and the material workshops for Young Artists, Youth Workers, and other relevant stakeholders. Parts of the resources will be developed in an eLearning and blended format, so they can be implemented in partner countries and the EU.
