Ontwikkel je vaardigheden tijdens Creative Skills Week 2024

Opleiding
Creative Skills Week

As we ride the wave of rapid change, it’s important to ask, if creative arts programmes are future-ready. Educators and training providers are adopting new holistic, value-centred approaches to the needs of creatives. But, are these in line with the needs of our SME’s and industry partners?

Now is the time to ensure creative skills training looks beyond systems and sectors and helps to secure sustainable and liveable futures in the Cultural and Creative Sector Industries (CCSI) and we can only do this together!

Creative Skills Week 2024 gathers third-level educators, university leaders, vocational education and training (VET) providers, industry partners, SME’s and policymakers dedicated to the future of the Cultural and Creative Sector Industries (CCSI).

In its 2nd edition, Creative Skills Week invites you to  participate in a two-day curated programme in Amsterdam (18-19 September). Join us for an exhilarating interactive schedule of events, featuring a host of experimental learning activities, inspiring speakers, micro-credential testing labs, workshops, artistic interventions, networking moments and more. Can’t attend in person in Amsterdam? Join our online Satellite Event programme.

Be part of Creative Skills Week’s common goal to collectively build a robust European Creative Skills Ecosystem. Meet with members of the Creative Pact for Skills, Large-Scale Partnership and the sector’s Blueprint Project, CYANOTYPES who will be gathering in person for the first time in Amsterdam. Develop local and European solutions which address urgent challenges within the CCSI. Join this active community dedicated to creating upskilling opportunities, tackling skills gaps and developing strategic skills for future creatives.

Powered by SACCORD, in association with CYANOTYPES, and hosted by Conservatorium van Amsterdam, Amsterdam University of Arts.
