Creative Skills Week 2024

Green, Digital and Social Skills Sessions Await!

The European Commission recently recognised the cultural and creative industries (CCI) as one of Europe’s leading industrial sectors. Well, we already knew that! This presents an opportunity to come together, think about the future of our sector, and address skills needs and reskilling across the whole creative ecosystem.

The second edition of Creative Skills Week, powered by the SACCORD project (of which BEDA is a consortium partner), in association with the Blueprint Project, CYANOTYPES, invites you to actively participate in shaping and steering discussion around skills, addressing gaps, opportunities for upskilling, and to start shaping strategic skills for future creatives.

Join the active community who believe in the power of creativity, skilling and learning from 16 – 20 September 2024 (in person and online). The LIVE programme will take place in Amsterdam on 18 & 19 September, kindly hosted by the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, Amsterdam University of Arts.

Two-day Curated MAIN PROGRAMME

Taking place in Amsterdam on 18 & 19 September

Explore this gem of city while contributing to future skills agenda topics tackling digital, social and green skills transitions, diversity & inclusion, building resilient cultural and creative ecosystems, value creation, and cross-sectoral synergies.

Engage in hands-on parallel sessions at various iconic locations throughout Amsterdam. On Thursday, 19 September (14:30 – 16:00 CEST), CYANOTYPES invites you to explore the sector’s potential for innovation and competitiveness, addressing challenges presented by the triple transition (social, green and digital):

• Social Skills / Transition: Discover experiences and initiatives focused on diversity, equality, and inclusion within our sector. Learn how the CCSI impacts society and discuss the skills and competencies essential for supporting societal transitions.
• Green Skills / Transition: Discuss experiences and initiatives related to the green shift and environmental transition. We will showcase examples of how the CCSI contributes to environmental goals and explore the skills and competencies necessary to drive the green transformation.
• Digital Skills / Transition: Examine the skills and competencies necessary to drive this technological advancement. Learn how AI is changing the CCSI, and share experiences and initiatives related to the digital transition.
