Arca – Italian for ark – is a new research project aimed at accelerating circular skills for Cornwall and Isles of Scilly. The project is part-funded through the European Social Fund and forms part of the European Strategic Investment Framework for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Arca will work with local businesses to co-design workshops and training programmes for individuals, microbusinesses and SMEs in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

The transition to a circular economy is not a matter of choice. It is a necessity.’
Arca will offer a range of training programmes and workshops covering topics such as:
Delivery of workshops begins in March 2022. The project ends in December 2023.
