Rethinking Urgencies
27 ━ 28 April 2023
Hybrid
Theme
After the pandemic, amidst the digital shift and green transitions, and a war in Europe, how can we respond to complexity squared in times of multiple crisis situations?
The purpose of this workshop is to launch a process of mapping urgent skills needs across all sectors of the CCI (Creative & Cultural Industries). This requires, as a key outcome, an advanced understanding of what exactly makes a skills need urgent today. With special focus on multiple crisis situations.
This workshop invites 20 participants from partners and stakeholders to join the in-person workshop. Relevant parts of the programme will be accessible for hybrid participation.
Participants will be asked to work on:
Group work 1: Mapping the triangle: theoretical knowledge, practical skills, personal capabilities based on the participants practice and urgencies experienced.
Group work 2: Preparing 6 abstract scenarios and assign them to each of the 6 groups. Each group develops a set of concrete measures to address an urgent skills need based on skills and capacity building formats and in response to the scenario.
Group work 3: Recap of the group work session 2, selection of measures and turn them into a partial format while preparing the presentation of learning outcomes.
This workshop will be hosted by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology – NTNU. With invited experts: Lisa Lang, Joe Lockwood, James Livesey, Martijn Blom, and Marta Materska-Samek.
