ARTISAN is an innovative project, aiming to have a practical application once it is completed. The project has as its main aim to develop an innovative entrepreneurship programme for the family members in artisan and agro-tourism family businesses.

ARTISAN project comes to fill an apparent need of families-in-business to enhance their entrepreneurial potential and thus their abilities to control and manage more effectively their business and its direction.

Thus, we are very niche in our focus, aiming to support the continuation and growth of artisan and agro-tourism businesses (and thus the continuation and enhancement of the cultural component that they carry) through the enhancement of the entrepreneurial skills and potential of family members nested in these enterprises.

The consortium of partners is composed of 7 organisations from 6 EU countries and is consisted of:

• UCLan, Cyprus (Project Coordinator)
• UNIVERSIDAD DE CASTILLA – LA MANCHA, Spain
• PUNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI PALERMO, Italy
• GrantXpert Consulting, Cyprus
• EDHEC BUSINESS SCHOOL, France
