CYANOTYPES
Strategic skills for creative futures
We are all works in progress, blueprints that are continuously being revised and updated.
CYANOTYPES is a community of change, a pan-European
project addressing the Cultural and Creative Industries’ needs and skills gaps. Co-funded by the European Union.
About CYANOTYPES
CYANOTYPES is developing its dynamic skills framework that equips creatives, businesses, educators, and policymakers with the competences needed to navigate the digital, green, and societal transitions. By using a co-creative, Train-the-Trainer approach and fostering local skills ecosystems, it enables upskilling, reskilling, and future-readiness across the cultural and creative industries
Creative work is changing rapidly. The learning system must change with it.
CYANOTYPES brings together education providers, industry organisations, creative networks, and policymakers to rethink how creative skills are defined and developed.

Through Pilots, organisations and networks explored how the Framework and Toolkit can be applied in real learning environments.

A strategic tool for navigating change
The CYANOTYPES Framework supports creative professionals, organisations, educators, networks, and policymakers in navigating social, digital, and ecological change by focusing on how people act, decide, collaborate, and create in complex environments.

Creative Skills Week
Creative Skills Week (CSW) is the key meeting point for the Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries, focused on lifelong learning, re-skilling, and upskilling. It brings together Higher Education, Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers, and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.
