CYANOTYPES (2022 – 2026)

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.

This project aims 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.

Complementary to the IQA dimension of the project, EQ-Arts will oversee the Quality Assurance aspect of the training material and its correlated pilots.
