What is the BIZnES Class Academy?
The BIZnES Class Academy project is aimed at social economy entities from Lower Silesia that want to develop their business and improve or introduce new products or services to their commercial offer.
Participants selected through a recruitment process receive professional support from business representatives in the form of mentoring and training in marketing and organizational management. In turn, young artists from the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, as part of design mentoring, help them create a professional visual identity and promotional materials for selected products or services.
The project is cyclical. This year, its 7th edition has already been organized. More current information about the Academy can be found on its social media.
