The city of Larissa is based on the development of the creative and cultural sectors through its remarkable young artists and creators. As a candidate European Capital of Culture 2021, Larissa actively supports the pioneering European project ArtS that builds educational, scientific and creative results in order to endow the youthful resources with knowledge and skills required by today’s constantly changing cultural sector.Panayiotis Sapkas - Deputy Mayor for Culture and Science, Municipality of Larissa

The ArtS project recognizes the cultural and creative sectors’ potential for growth and job creation at a time of high unemployment. It brings together a unique team of organizations reaching twelve cities and ten regions in three EU countries.Vassiliki Chatzipetrou - Eurotraining

Unique project focused on the theme of the creative industries amongst the six funded in 2014 by the Erasmus+ programme – Sector Skills Alliances, ArtS rises to the challenge to improve the level of professional development of individuals in the cultural and creative sectors and to strengthen the degree of resilience to the continuous changes that characterize our time.Federica Pesce - Melting Pro

ArtS Project seems so promising for me, it is nice to feel that someone is taking care of my professional needs and that this project can help me to reach my potential and to further develop some aspects that I didn’t realize I could improve through a European project. Indeed Europe is closer to me than I imagined!!! Thank you!!!Beatriz Romera Sánchez - Painter, Murcia
