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.

CYANOTYPES Pilots

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