Northern Creative Youth, NoCry, is an international project with the aim to improve and support the entrepreneurial competence among young artists in the NPP area and to provide better understanding of the business potential that lies in the creative industry. In addition, the aim is to provide means and tools for effective cooperation, networking and knowledge transfer between creative business incubators and creative young people.

NoCry aims to increase economic growth by supporting the development of knowledge and an entrepreneurial culture by enhancing networking across borders in the creative sector. NoCry will also spread knowledge on creative entrepreneurship, provide training, and develop and test ICT based tools for co-productions over distances and the distribution of creative productions.

All work will be linked through joint development and exchange of knowledge for real transnationality and interaction between innovation and its application.

The NoCry project will develop an online platform for the creative sector to spread knowledge, enhance networking and support business development among young creative people in the NP area.

Studio NoCry will offer guidance, seminars and workshops:  a meeting place that will support creative youngsters locally and regionally, while promoting services and networking on a transnational level.
