This project conducted by Interarts and the “Santa Rosa Vive el Arte” Programme, as local partner, aims to contribute to human and social development by reinforcing the creative and cultural sector in the town of Santa Rosa de Copán, Honduras. This support to cultural agents and artists involves several activities of different types, including training seminars on management, an incubator and a project bank, presentations to potential partner or collaborating institutions, etc. This initiative, financed by the Spanish Agency of International Cooperation for Development (AECID), also includes activities to facilitate the successful completion of incubated projects and the commercialisation of their products.
The first call for entrepreneurs took place in May 2009, when in Santa Rosa de Copán was held a week of raising awareness about the project and presenting it to all interested persons and institutions.
Because of the monitoring carried out by the project, in November five of cultural enterprises could participate in the first business conference on the arts and cultural sector held in Honduras. As a result of this first call seven business ideas from the crafts to the performing arts have been developed.
In early 2010, the second call was announced; consequently four new business ideas will continue the training course.
In order to strengthen the collaboration with other organizations aimed to promote the cultural sector and to spread activities to other country’s areas, in the spring of 2010, the Women in the Arts Association of Tegucigalpa was contacted.
