Entrepreneurial Cultures in European Cities
Entrepreneurial Cultures in European Cities
In this project museums and cultural organisations in cities from seven European countries want to explore for the first time the possibilities for small and medium-size businesses to contribute to an emerging European citizenship. Firstly the project will focus on economic, social and cultural strategies of entrepreneurs who started a business quite recently, many of whom have an immigrant background. Secondly the project will involve an interaction with the customers, also often from an immigrant background. Intercultural dialogue is therefore an important and natural starting point in the implementation of this project.
A travers ce projet, des musées et des organismes culturels installés dans des villes de sept pays européens veulent, pour la première fois, explorer comment les petites et moyennes entreprises peuvent contribuer à l'émergence d'une citoyenneté européenne. Le projet s'intéresse d'abord aux stratégies économiques, sociales et culturelles des patrons qui ont créé leur entreprise il n'y a pas longtemps; beaucoup d'entre eux sont issus de l'immigration. Il porte ensuite sur l'interaction avec les clients; beaucoup d'entre eux sont également issus de l'immigration; le dialogue interculturel est donc un point de départ important et naturel dans la réalisation de ce projet.

The coffeehouses of Zagreb were modelled after West European, especially Viennese, coffeehouses, which was reflected primarily in their interior design, but also in the coffee offer. Since (Lire la suite…)
