The Cav' Townships project aims to address youth unemployment and income generation in the creative industry through entrepreneurship. The objective of the project is to develop and then implement formats for the development of professional perspectives in the creative space. The main focus is on supporting the generation of income, be it through independent, entrepreneurial activities or through the expansion and transfer of competences in order to help young people in finding employment. In partnership with well-established township hubs, the project conceptualises interventions for promoting the creative industry to access new markets and provide support to the cultural and creative infrastructure of townships. The project is aimed at youth aged 18-35 who are involved in the creative industry in townships, particularly women and establishments and initiatives that are involved in this creative industry.
