CYANOTYPES
A community of change for creative skills
WHAT
CYANOTYPES COMMUNITY OF CHANGE
CYANOTYPES is a unique pan-European project driven to imagine new competence ecosystems for the creative sector which support artists and other creatives as agents of change. For general information about CYANOTYPES download our flyer here.
INSPIRED by the iron-based photographic process that gave the name to the original “blueprint” we know today, CYANOTYPES embodies this key moment of innovation, seeing in this very practise an exemplary episode of arts-and-technology experimentation that inspires creators to this day.
CYANOTYPES brings together a wide variety of organisations, stakeholders, and European networks to address the needs and skills gaps in the Cultural & Creative Industries. Based on innovative multidisciplinary approaches, CYANOTYPES tackles the sector’s potential for innovation and competitiveness, which deals as well with challenges presented by the triple transition (social, digital and green).
CYANOTYPES strategically adopts a triple loop learning framework that combines the effective adoption of existing (and validated) skillsets, the co-creative development of new skillsets and a flexible framework to respond to disruptive changes with future skillsets. Organised by a triple loop learning framework, this will include changes in how we “learn how to learn”.
Through the integration of specific and transversal skillsets, CYANOTYPES will provide context-specific points of entry and respond to disruptive elements into the sector with upskilling and reskilling processes for different stakeholder groups leading to change and innovation in CCI education and training.
We question: How does our sector identify necessary skillsets? How can we co-create curricula? What are the futures of human-machine relations in creative work? And how can we organise learning processes for a diversity of learners and contexts?
Our Aim
Our Aim
Through this project we aim to support the co-creation and delivery of a training programme with future-oriented transversal competences and concrete trans-national skills modules covering the spectrum of diverse qualifications involving VET (EQF levels 3 to 5) and Tertiary levels (EQF levels 6 to 8), as well as providing inputs for workplace training and microlearning for existing and new occupational profiles.
Our Aim
Creative Pact for Skills
CYANOTYPES is a member of the Creative Pact for Skills, a shared engagement and approach to skills development. CYANOTYPES supports the Creative Pact for Skills’ mission to encourage collaborative upskilling and reskilling efforts among public and private stakeholders.
The European Commission’s Pact for Skills is one of the flagship actions of the European Skills Agenda, to be accomplished within the next five years.
The Pact for Skills aims to support both public and private organisations with a common goal: the upskilling and reskilling of Europe’s workforce so they can thrive through the green and digital transitions.
As members of the Pact, we have access to knowledge on upskilling and reskilling needs, advice on relevant funding instruments to boost the skills of adults in their regions and countries, and partnership opportunities within our growing community.
There is a strong potential in boosting joint action to maximise the impact of skills investment. Join the community in showing your dedication to CCSI skills advancement – sign the Creative Pact for Skills Manifesto.
