In the shadow of the Pyramids
Creative enterprises are well known for growing
economic activity, resuscitating moribund city centres and creating pathways of
success for those at the margins of society. Combine this with community based
social enterprise and you have the makings of major social change.
The British Council is piloting a programme to
stimulate creative and social enterprises in 5 countries. As a prelude to the
launch of the programme Red Ochre was asked to deliver a 3-day workshop in
Cairo on understanding, supporting and expanding the creative and social
enterprise sectors in Egypt.
The workshop was attended by 25 plus senior
representatives from various ministries and agencies who have an interest in
economic growth, job creation and expanding the creative sector, particularly
the craft sector. The workshop resulted in an agreement to explore ways for the
various agencies to improve communication, partner on programmes and to pool
resources to accelerate the growth and success of social and creative
enterprises.
Uday and Robert facilitated an intensive but fun
programme and even manged to get in some sightseeing, including exploring an
ancient all-night market in the old part of Cairo.
