Celeste Lee Arendse winner of The British Council’s Young Creative Entrepreneur in 2014

The British Council’s Young Creative Entrepreneur (YCE) programme celebrates, supports and connects entrepreneurs who are innovating the creative and cultural industries around the world. The YCE Award forms part of Connect ZA - a British Council arts programme that aims to build cultural connections between young people aged 18-35 in the UK and South Africa. The programme includes opportunities for showcasing, collaboration, innovation and professional development with a number of events and projects throughout 2013-2015.

The winner participated in a shared tour of the UK’s fashion and design sector. The programme allowed the winners to gain unique access to and insights into the UK industry, as well as providing a fantastic opportunity to make a wide range of business contacts that will act as a springboard for future business/collaborations between the UK and internationally. The tour will run from 13 – 19 September 2014 while London plays host to London Fashion week and London Design week.
