This project progresses FESPA’s substantial commitment to the region through a two-phase programme of targeted re-investment. The first phase saw the FESPA Board earmark Euros 115,000 to support the gathering of regional market intelligence and developing pan-regional links. The second phase, instigated by the FESPA Eurasia Partner Committee, allocated a further 100,000 Turkish Lira to local projects to promote wide format print.

Students enrolled on the course will also have the opportunity to tour ARED members’ companies in order to familiarise themselves with the day-to-day running of a print business. ARED will support students to gain internships and practical experience in order to support their studies, as well as assisting them with employment once they have completed the course.
