The EU has funded a project called Designers Cluster for the Development of Clusters in Cultural and Creative Industries in the Southern Mediterranean and is now looking for product designers located in Egypt. According to a statement, the project is searching for designers that regularly work with wood, metal, textiles, leather, glass or clay.

The project is partially funded by the Italian Development Cooperation alongside the EU and will be overseen by the United Nations Development Organization. Designers Cluster aims to develop the talents of young designers with training, exposure to a variety of exhibitions, capacity building activities, market access opportunities and more.

The purpose and the scheme of work of the Development of Clusters in the Cultural and Creative Industries in the Southern Mediterranean project is to execute similar work of the Private sector Development in the Southern Mediterranean Program and to stimulate or help grow young entrepreneurial co-operation skills.

After successfully emulating the Private Sector Development in the Southern Mediterranean, the project will proceed to showcase the potential for national and regional development and therefore, creating new employment opportunities for Egyptian youth.
