With the"Social Innovation meets Culture"project, we want to jointly develop new solutions for social challenges and support business ideas with social and cultural issues not only in Hanover, but now also in Hildesheim. To this end, we have teamed up withPULS- the new place for inspiration, creativity and diversity in Hildesheim.

The aim is to increasingly address the target group of the cultural and creative industries in order to use the proven structures for generating ideas in the cultural and creative industries and to support the implementation of business ideas with creative or cultural issues.

Ideas for solving social problems are developed in interdisciplinary CREATIVE WORKSHOPS. Innovative start-up concepts are supported and promoted through a four-month, free ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAMME.

What can you expect on June 3?

In addition to the presentation of the planned project activities, inspiring projects and personalities from the cultural and start-up scene await you at the kick-off:
