Co-organised with EIT Culture & Creativity, the Creative Pact for Skills, SACCORD, and CYANOTYPES, Creative Skills Week 2025 (CSW2025) responds to the urgent transitions facing the sector today: digital advancements, the green shift, funding cuts, growing concerns on the implications of AI, the rise of populism, and skills shortages.

Against this backdrop, this year’s theme, Create. Transform. Regenerate., reflects a shared commitment to building adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable creative ecosystems.

CSW2025 is structured across three experiential theme tracks, enabling you to:

• CREATE: This track invites you to experiment with innovative tools and practices. Participate in hands-on activities and build practical capabilities through making, prototyping, and testing.

• TRANSFORM: This track invites you to engage with peers on pressing issues, share insights, and contribute to shaping sector-wide strategies. Take part in debates, policy discussions, and strategic roundtables that address the systemic challenges and future direction of the Cultural and Creative Industries.

• REGENERATE: This track is for everyone looking to stay ahead of the curve. Participate in sessions exploring the latest developments and trends. Activities include peer-to-peer learning, foresight exercises, and collaborative innovation. Share insights and co-create pathways for sustainable evolution.

CYANOTYPES Training | 23 & 24 Sept in Prague

Join CYANOTYPES at Creative Skills Week 2025 for a hands-on, future-oriented training designed for educators, curriculum designers, policy shapers, and cultural intermediaries working to co-create future competences in the cultural and creative industries (CCIs).

Through peer-matching and scenario co-design, participants will collaborate on real-world challenges and explore innovative learning strategies grounded in the CYANOTYPES Framework. Learn more about the framework here.

How to Join the Training

Participation in the CYANOTYPES Training at CSW2025 is open to those who are involved in piloting the CYANOTYPES Framework. There are two ways to join:

• Already a Pilot Runner?

If you’ve already attended an onboarding session and are active in a CYANOTYPES pilot, you’re ready to participate in the training at CSW2025. Register here.

• New to CYANOTYPES and interested in joining?

If you’re not yet involved but are interested in joining the training, you can become a Pilot Runner by completing the onboarding process. This includes an introduction to the CYANOTYPES Framework and support in setting up or contributing to a local pilot.

By becoming a Pilot Runner, you will join a network of changemakers actively testing and co-developing future-oriented competences in real-life contexts.
