Introducing ACHIEVE CCS: Ambitious Careers and Holistic Innovation for Empowering Women in CCS

We are proud to introduce ACHIEVE CCS, a project empowering women’s careers and innovation mindsets in the Cultural and Creative Sector (CCS). It is a European project dedicated to empowering young women (aged 18–30) in the evolving landscape of the Cultural and Creative Sector (CCS).

Running across France, Ireland, Ukraine, Greece, and Turkey, ACHIEVE CCS aims to equip young women with the skills, support, and visibility they need to succeed as artists, creators, cultural workers, and entrepreneurs in the CCS.

Why ACHIEVE CCS?
The creative industries are full of potential — but young women continue to face barriers to access, representation, and professional growth. ACHIEVE CCS is here to change that.

What We Do:
🔎 Research: We began by listening — conducting a transnational needs assessment to understand the upskilling needs of young women in the CCS.
📘 Training: We are launching the Academy for Women in CCS, offering free educational resources, practical workshops, and mentorship to support their personal and professional development.
🎨 Creation & Collaboration: Young women will co-create original projects through local Art Clubs, culminating in a Virtual Exhibition on a multi-space platform — an international stage for their work.

Through ACHIEVE CCS, we’re not just building skills — we’re building a movement.
A movement of empowered, connected, and creative women shaping the cultural sector of tomorrow.
