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

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.

Learn more about the Framework, what it offers, and how you can get involved.

Engage with CYANOTYPES in Practice

Organisations and individuals are invited to take part through participating in our Open Pilots. Apply the approaches and materials within your own context, ecosystem, and priorities. Contact us to learn about becoming a pilot runner and showcasing the CYANOTYPES Framework in practice.
