Project launches. Developing approaches to research, measure and map the existing upskilling and reskilling activities.

The initial project phase involved identifying skills gaps, researching urgent and future CCI skills needs, and developing the CCI Skills Strategy in line with the EU Skills Agenda and Creative Pact for Skills.

The first Creative Skills Week event was held in Vienna in October 2023 and attracted a wide cross-section of the CCI ecosystem. 

Filmed during Creative Skills Week 2023 in Vienna, watch the end of year one CYANOTYPES film which provides a glimpse into key moments and discussions from the main event, Anticipating Creative Futures.

Building on the Creative Agency Circle, a number of curriculum development teams have been created and focus on co-creating initial curricula for each of the competences. These teams bring together different perspectives from business, Vocational Education Training and Higher Education and the initial curricula are targeted at EDF Level 5. 

The second edition of the Creative Skills Week was held from 16 - 20 September 2024, powered by the SACCORD project, in association with CYANOTYPES, and hosted by the Conservatorium of Amsterdam and Amsterdam University of the Arts (AHK), and co-hosted by Marineterrein. With the support of the City of Amsterdam and EIT Culture & Creativity.  At CSW2024, CYANOTYPES partners presented and discussed the Skills Strategy with the community.

The Creative Agency Circle was introduced during this event.

The piloting phase for the CYANOTYPES Framework will begin with 8 sectoral pilots and 8 cross-sectoral pilots across Europe. These co-creative pilots will help to test and improve the framework and the associated curricula in a large variety of learning contexts.  

Our Call for Pilots is open for all those who are interested in piloting the CYANOTYPES Framework in their region or sector.

The third edition of the Creative Skills Week will be held in September 2025 in Prague, Czechia. This will provide detailed insights into the outcomes from the first pilot phase of the project.

Selected organisations and individuals will run their own pilots. 

Once the open pilots are concluded, all the information gathered will be used to finalise the Train-the-Trainer Framework to make it more widely available.
