COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course will strengthened the students ability to translate creative and artistic skills for a sustainable working life. The course focuses on the ability to combine knowledge with opportunities and thus create value. The focus is on generating ideas that include creativity, recognizing opportunities and sources of innovation in order to create artistic and / or commercial value for themselves and others.

Entrepreneurship is a fundamental element in relation to the student’s career management and the subject is placed in the program in order to strengthen the students’ abilities to create momentum and value in a changing labor market. The module connects the learning to other disciplines and provides an understanding of interdisciplinary work.

The course is structured as modules of 9 hours. Students must choose two of the following modules per. term:

1. Communication and marketing: The course makes the students able to translate their artistic practice to an oral and / or written narrative and the underlying ambition for their work. The course connects storytelling theory and practice by introducing students to a number of narrative models with accompanying examples, such as oral pitch, the written press release and the overall core story. The students will practice their own narrative from the models.

2. Fundraising: The course  focuses on how a project will have a broader perspective and a clear purpose, providing better opportunities for funding. The training introduces writing techniques, pitch, budgeting, CV, selection of target groups, good habits, and how to ‘lobby” for a project. Part of the course deals with how the project purpose should be reflected in the fund. This purpose mirroring can be used as inspiration and reality check: Should the project be changed, and is this fund is at all relevant to the project? Through case studies and joint brainstorming on the participants’ own projects the course makes clear what it takes to get through the eye of the needle and get funding for a project.

3. Law: The module deals on selected legal issues, as the professional and independent musician should know in order to perform his or her artistic work. The students will beintroduced to areas such as contracts and contract law issues. The teaching is based on actual cases, the student’s own musical practices and experiences with situations in which legal knowledge is required. There will also be taught different forms of enterprise, their different sets of rules and advantages and disadvantages of choosing one form over the other.

4. Economy and negotiation: The module allows students the knowledge and tools to be stronger in professional negotiation situations. In addition, students gain insight into innovation, business start, TAX / VAT and general bookkeeping.

5. Entrepreneurship as mindset: The course introduces optics and definitions of entrepreneurship  in order to connect it to their own practice. Students will make analysis and reflection exercises on their own practice and begin a skills assessment of the relationship between the artistic and the administrative: What would I like to be able to handle myself? What does it mean for me to be entrepreneurial? The students share their experiences based on the exercises that are given.

Beside the modules there are also offered entrepreneurial talks and seminars on entrepreneurship, which are mandatory for students on the course.
