Fuzzy entrepreneurship: Exploring young people’s emerging creative entrepreneurial practices

Agusita, Emma

Abstract

This workshop presents and explores initial findings from a pilot research study that considers ways in which young people’s emerging and developing entrepreneurial creative practices might challenge and disrupt prevailing discourses about creative and cultural enterprise.

The workshop invites participants to explore insights from the study through interactive, co-creative activities, reflecting methodologies used in the research. In particular, the workshop will play with the idea of fuzzy entrepreneurship. In this context, the idea of fuzzy entrepreneurship is used to suggest that a critical understanding of young people’s entrepreneurial creative practices requires a more diverse and dialogic consideration of what entrepreneurial and enterprising activity can be and can afford. And, in turn, it is proposed that a rethink is necessary about how to support the development of more inclusive and sustainable pathways to creative work for young people, offering new models and practices that unsettle conventional approaches.
